Put the kettle on. How many cuppas do we English drink annually?
Uswitch has done research into the subject of tea and just how much of the beverage us Britons drink annually and the figures may astound you.
Their research has discovered that the average UK tea drinker consumes 62,046 cups in a lifetime. That will cost us just over £6,622 if we drink an average of 2.1 cups a day for an average lifespan of 81 years. If you like your tea with milk, that is the most expensive part of the drink costing 12 pence a day or £43.80 a year. That’s £3,548 over a lifetime.
Meanwhile, teabags cost about 4p each, which comes to 8.4p per day. That’ll set you back £30.66 a year or a total of £2,483 if you’re lucky enough to reach an age of 81. Electricity to boil the kettle costs 2p a day or £7.30 each year and £591 over eight decades.
