Builders prefer coffee and a Hobnob on National Tea Day

Builders at David Wilson Homes in Berkshire have given their hot take on hot drinks for National Tea Day today (Monday, April 21) in an exclusive survey revealing their drinking preferences.

The survey of more than 200 David Wilson Homes builders confirmed that a good brew is still an important part of the day.

In fact, a total of 100 million cups of tea are consumed by people in Britain every day according to the Tea and Infusions Organisation.

A whopping 61 per cent also admitted to being sugar-free with their brews, with the next closest being one sugar (21 per cent) in a health-conscious choice for the David Wilson Homes site teams.

The builders revealed their top advice for making the best brew, with 86 per cent of them confirming adding hot water first is a must when making the perfect cuppa – as opposed to the more controversial option of milk first.

David Wilson Homes builders remained loyal to tea and coffee only, as just 12 per cent of respondents opted for other drinks such as hot chocolate, fruit or herbal tea as their beverage of choice.

Whilst having important opinions on hot beverages, the construction teams were also asked about their top tier dunkers.

Chocolate Hobnobs came out on top with 26 per cent of the votes for the best biscuit, closely followed by Chocolate Digestives with 22 per cent.

Special shoutouts also went out to shortbread, custard creams and ginger biscuits.

What’s more, the majority of respondents (30 per cent) confirmed three cups of their beloved brew was the perfect amount in an average day, while one in six commit to five or more cups a day.
