Brits are seriously picky when it comes to their cups of tea.
More than 100 million cups of tea are drunk daily in the UK, so we know what we're talking about when it comes to the perfect cuppa. But what makes it incredibly tricky is that everyone has their own preference for what colour is the perfect one for a humble tea.
Milk and sugar? Builder's brew? We all like our tea a particular way, and there's nothing like that feeling of being handed a cuppa with the exact right colour.
And now a controversial tea chart has caused carnage among Brits, who can't seem to agree on the perfect shade. Comedian Limahl Germain no doubt knew what he set in motion when he posted a TikTok of the tea chart and claimed there was only one right answer.
He started by explaining that someone had made him a cup of tea and brought him back a "number eight", which is a very milky cup of tea, which had made him question their friendship. "You can't be trusted. I asked for a cup of tea and you brought me a cup of milk. Are you alright?," asked Limahl.

According to the comedian, number one is fine in his books, because it means you don't like milk in your tea. However, he added two "doesn't make sense" because it's like you just made a mistake by adding milk in. "What is the point?" he asked.
Number three is also "silly" but "fair enough", because it means you've just put a "little drop of milk in there". Annd according to Limahl, "four and five is how you should drink your tea".
"I don't care what anyone says, if you have milk in your tea, that's how it should look.'

With number six the comedian says you're "crossing the line", but haven't "crossed it yet", but if someone has asked for a 'milky tea', that's what you should be bringing them. Controversially, the comedian said that if you're drinking number seven, eight or nine, "you don't like tea".
As you might expect, not everyone in the comment section of the video, which has been seen more than 113k times, agreed on what the perfect shade of tea is. One person wrote: "5 is the only appropriate response. Anything else, and I know that you don't like me."
However, someone else commented: "I'm a 1 can't stand milk black tea all the way." Another quipped: "5 I want. 4 I'll accept. 6 I would reluctantly drink. Anything else, needs to thrown in the persons face!"
A fourth explained: "Number 2 for me - I can explain… I was off milk when I was pregnant! And you can't dip a biccy in 1 but 2 you can." Shockingly, another shared: "I used to work with a woman who use to make 9 milk FIRST then hot water then would DIP the teabag in. I'm forever appalled."
