Just wanted to point out that where I come from in Birmingham (UK), the term "builders tea" refers to any tea which is made very strong, "so strong you can stand a spoon in it." Obviously the reference is to beefy builders who are so tough they can handle it being so strong, hence the term, "builders tea."
Actually the strongest tea (containing the most amount of theine) is the green one (brewing time: 3 minutes). The longer you brew your tea, it becomes weaker and only more bitter. 😀
Builders' Tea should be strong enough to climb out of the mug on its own. Regarding how much milk you should use: you can put in as much as you like, provided the top is off the carton for no more than 2 seconds.
This gal is doing an amazing job! It's not about correcting her on what she's saying or knowing the truth, you can do that with Google, but instead, she tells us how the average person perceives i.e. "the builder's tea". So it's a matter of perception of average people in the UK. In all countries, people know stuff that they only think they know or know wrong!
Hi Jade! I just want to thank you for your precious lessons and tips as they're all helping me to learn English faster and better. You're very nice too, which makes you a great teacher. Greetings from Italy! ;)
you are amazing, great that you are back with us. What you are doing is one of those wonderful cornerstones to the people who strives to explore english culture.
Black tea is a gift from heaven. I love the blend of Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. Absolutely delicious. Finger sandwiches and scones are also welcome.
A nice strong cup of Yorkshire tea, possibly one unheaped sugar, with a little milk, is a Work of Art. Brits possibly take tea for granted, but when someone makes a perfect cuppa, it would be rude not to praise it.
I drink Yorkshire tea but I don’t have sugar in my tea . The thought of Tea with 1 or even 2 sugars in it makes me feel grossed out I only drink Yorkshire Tea with Milk but no sugar When I was younger at age 7 I drank English Breakfast Tea I was only introduced to Yorkshire Tea 4 years ago
Hello from the US. In Philadelphia, PA, Wanamakers had the " Crystal Tea Room." It was famous for pink, yellow, and lavender colors in the mayonnaise of the cucumber sandwiches.
Jade, drinking tea was a habit of Portuguese ladies. It was introduced in England by Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II, in the 17th century. She also took Bombay and Tangiers in her dowry.
Oh yes!!!! Most of people, and all in England, don't know this, or they forgot many years ago, so, the problem is our, we don't know how to make the world remember many, many things, shame on....
Oh this Is what I miss the most from England: a hot cup of tea. I just loved it. I lived in London in 2007. I like the way you teach Jade. I'm myself an English as a Foreign language teacher , AND Everything I'm learning from you I'll teach it to them. Greetings from Venezuela South America.
Dear Jade:How lovely and funny the nostagical gals drinking the tea with their pinky nail pointing up to the sky whilst holding the tea pot and saucer!
I use the crusts for bread pudding. Occasionally, I will put them in a food processor and make breadcrumbs - especially if they have come from ham sandwiches. Amazing how Yorkshire Tea has become a worldwide choice - I remember going with my great aunt for morning tea at Taylor's of Harrogate's cafe - of course you can still go to Betty's for a real Yorkshire afternoon tea - part of the same business.
I'm in California and I bought a box of Twinning English Breakfast Tea today at Walmart. I was curious as to how tea is properly done in the UK. Your video was extremely informative. Thanks. Now I just need some scones and digestive biscuits.
I'm Spanish was raised and educated in the United Kingdom and I drink 5 cups of PG Tips tea with fresh semi skimmed milk every single day of my life in Spain. Interestingly around 18th century Spain tea sets were in vogue in the upper classes (I've seen them in rich old peoples' houses), these days no one in Spain knows what I use my kettle for. The Ritz London is THE Place to drink tea.
Yes, I noticed that... you Spanish are similar though, with your fancy coffee sets and fancy coco sets. I went to the Ritz though and it didn't quite cut it for me... there is nothing like making your own, in your favourite mug.
I've clicked Subscribe. Like your accent and pronunciation. And theatrical gestures while describing as well. Keep it up, and best regards from Warsaw, Pl.
Your lessons are unique! I enjoy watching it despite knowing almost all the words It is good to know more about culture to understand language. Can you make a video about horse riding?
FWIW, tea bags can be round, square or even a sort of pyramid shape. As a very general rule, they're most often square. And rather than being asked "Milk and sugar?", it's more likely that you'll be asked "How do you take it?" or "How do you like it?", with a typical response being something like "White with one", meaning you want milk and one spoonful of sugar.
You are wearing my favourite clothing brand - AQUASCUTUM. I have Jasper Conran for Wedgwood dishes. I live in Canada but my grandmother was born in England - her grandfather was a tradesman in Mayfair. They lived and worked in South Audley Street across from Goode's china shop. Archard's jewellery shop at number 70 until 1890. True.
I have no interest in tea at all, yet your presentation is so interesting, humorous and yes, informative , I watched the whole thing. I wish I had teachers like you when I was in school. You make it interesting.
I'm an American barbarian. ;) I drink tea every morning, but I just microwave a Lipton's tea bag in a mug and then add milk and sugar. I love it, but I know its considered swill by the British (plus I'm doing it all wrong by microwaving it). Oh, and I love the "posh" demonstrations you included. :)
My absolute favorite drink in the world would be tea. There are so many styles and flavors, that I think there is a right tea for everybody. I prefer tea over coffee any time.😎
I really like to listen to you Jade, sweet voice and I feel like I'm in school again, but british. And I like it! 👍 You're cute when you're talking about tea. 😊
I like a lot your way of teaching. Your british accent that was hard to me to understand at first. I am very happy to see you again with that posstive pedagogical energy. And with that very good looking. A greetings from Tenerife, canary island.
In some way yes. Not physically talking. In some videos she has explained had some troubles as all of us have in our lives. And now I watch her in a very good looking and very energetic. And that makes me happy. Her videos have helped me too much. Thanks
As east African, tea with milk was a everyday excuse to gather around the family. In the morning before school and late in the evening. Most families had sets of expensive china mostly for decorative purposes but occasionally they'd be functional when a guest visits. Unfortunately these days we are too busy to enjoy tea instead we take everything to go.
i was working class, brought up in the midlands in England and was brought up drinking tea out of a cup and saucer poured from a teapot and that was not exclusive to upper classes, in the 60s and 70s most people all classes had cups and saucers and our sandwiches were jam or dripping, it wasn't really until the 80's that mugs came in. So you need to research your social history a little more
Probably the most important part in making lovely tea is the water, straight from the kettle and not a second later. Tetley i believe are the only tea bags to manufacture round tea bags, most others are square. I apologise if i sound like i am nit picking, but its crucial get this right. Tea is god !
I'd like to have my tea as in the old way, lady like to be precise. I just love everything related to tea culture. by the way Im having tea right now watching your videos. Thanks a lot for your videos
Hello there Jade. This was such an informative video and I found it very humourous as well. You will recall the line in The Importance of Being Ernest by Oscar Wilde where Jack says "Eh? Shropshire? Yes, of course. Hallo! Why all these cups? Why cucumber sandwiches? Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea?" I sometimes get an odd look when I ask for cucumber sandwiches at my local deli. But I think I am also allowed some reckless extravagance in one so middle-aged ;-,X
In the old village of my parents, people love to drink tea. What is most surprising is no rules to drink tea. Just boil water in a kettle by adding tea leaves. After boiling, pour it into big size cup and drink it. Some villagers prefer sweet tea. So they add like four spoonful of sugar. Another way to take tea is to mixed cooked rice in the tea and eat it. Quite interesting because I did it too. But now I'm here learning British culture. 😊😂😂😂
Love the way you mimic the good old English ladies drinking their tea. 😄🍵
"Exploring" the world. Subtle.
hehehehehe
It's a positive way to view it. Even if it's coming from me, someone who grew up in an ex-colony.
@@denisesheehan9189 hehehe it was a good try ill give em A for effort
very British ;)
Smooth...lol
1:20 the most lovely way to teach english ever 😍
The way you tell it, is brilliant and funny.I love it.
Your teaching style is very good. Thanks for your lessons.
Every time u explain how they did in old days,, u make me smile.....👍🏻🤠

Greetings from Italy! ;)
you are amazing, great that you are back with us. What you are doing is one of those wonderful cornerstones to the people who strives to explore english culture.
It was Catherine of Braganza the Portuguese wife of KIng Charles II. who introduced the five
o´clock tea ceremony in England.
Yes, of course, it's absolutely true!!!!
And the zone of Queen's in NYC🗽named in Her honor
Hands down! You’re astoundingly well informed.
Are you from Cornaheira?
P.S.: I think Queens (without apostrophe) is even a borough, one out of five in NYC.
Black tea is a gift from heaven.
I love the blend of Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. Absolutely delicious. Finger sandwiches and scones are also welcome.
Good to see you´re alive and (I hope) well, adorable as always. I missed you.
I like your short lessons, and I also think you underestimate how funny you are enacting the English manner. :o) Good job, always!
Gracias, señorita Jade.
Su lenguaje corporal y los dibujos en el pizarrón me ayudan mucho para comprender la clase.
Great Lesson! Very informative! Jade! I have been your fan since 2014! What a come back! Keep up the good work!

You are so great teacher for choosing different kinds of lessons teaching people their lives English
I admire your teaching from southern side of Alps, from Slovenia!
Dear Jade:How lovely and funny the nostagical gals drinking the tea with their pinky nail pointing up to the sky whilst holding the tea pot and saucer!

I do like a bread pudding. Bread and butter pudding is great too, but it's a totally different beast of course.
I'm in California and I bought a box of Twinning English Breakfast Tea today at Walmart. I was curious as to how tea is properly done in the UK. Your video was extremely informative. Thanks. Now I just need some scones and digestive biscuits.
Thank you, Jade, for this lesson! I like the way you English people drink you tea :-)
You are so genuine!
You’ll never know how much we (at home) like your lovely classes !!!!! Really amazing !!! Greetings from Brazil !!!!

Thanks. Nice and clear presentation.

I love your videos!!
I love watching your videos. You are a great presenter.
Very useful lessons , thank you

The crust of the bread is not used to feed the birds, it is dried, ground and sold as breading. At least, that's what we do in France.
I love this! So funny
Thanks I enjoy your lessons
Thanks💖💖 Great video 🎈
