Get outa here. I love tea.
I drink loose leaf and builder tea. Each have their place.
You are older than you feel.
Builders tea is (cheap) english breakfast in a tea bag.
Often served very strong with a lot of suger, and a bit of milk.
Can you get it any other way? I'm referring to PG tips / Yorkshire Tea / Tetley etc.
It's what Brit's call bog-standard supermarket teabags.
Na, builder's tea is just very strong tea, like leaving the (bog-standard supermarket) tea bag in there for about ten minutes
Lister of smeg? Is that you?
Yes princess, won't you join me in this tent?

That just sounds like a normal tea to me!
Is it still builder's if you add the milk at the latter part of the steeping?
On the one hand if that's a normal tea then you're an absolute builder, on the other I don't think any builder would ever call brewing the tea "steeping"!
