"A survey of 1,000 tradespeople has revealed exactly how today's workers like their tea. Contrary to popular belief, the perfect builder's brew should not be boiling. Instead, the results suggest tradespeople prefer a cuppa that's 'just cool enough to sip comfortably'. What's more, the tea bag should only be brewed for one minute and 53 seconds, resulting in a 'balanced medium shade'."
"The results revealed that the perfect builder's brew should be warm, brewed for one minute and 53 seconds, and contain a spoonful of sugar. In terms of milk, semi-skimmed is the most common choice, with just enough to give a balanced medium shade. Tea lovers will be relieved to hear that the perfect builder's brew does not feature salt - an ingredient one scientist claims is the secret to the perfect cuppa. Professor Michelle Francl, a professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr College, caused uproar last year for her strange addition."
A survey of 1,000 tradespeople who drive a van for work identifies modern builder's-brew preferences. Tradespeople prefer tea that is warm rather than boiling, described as 'just cool enough to sip comfortably.' The ideal brew time is one minute and 53 seconds, producing a balanced medium shade. Semi-skimmed milk is the most common choice, added in an amount to achieve that shade, and a spoonful of sugar is preferred. The preferred brew excludes salt despite a scientist's claim that sodium ions can reduce bitterness. Vauxhall commissioned the research to mark the Vivaro Electrici-TEA launch.
