Researchers from Rochdale Community University have confirmed after years of extensive research that tea tastes loads better when somebody else has made it.
Maurice Tips, Professor of Hot Beverages at the University’s world famous Brew Institute, has confirmed what the general public has known already for years that a cup of tea really does taste better if you haven’t made it yourself.
He said: “We are yet to get to the bottom of why tea tastes better when somebody else has made it. That wasn’t what the grant was for. That probably requires some more funding. It’s a good idea for another load of grant funded research though, I’ll get on to filling out some paperwork for another grant this afternoon.”
“The grant was to cover ‘if’ tea tastes better when somebody else has made it not ‘why’. We can confirm it does, we drank about twenty five cups of tea each every day for the last six years. It seems to have something to do with having to get up and put the kettle on, though we can’t be sure.”
“Or it could be something to do with molecules and atoms and stuff.”
