Hot Proper-tea – Coffee’s the top pick for builders to celebrate Macmillan
In celebration of the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning (Friday 30th September), employees at Buckinghamshire housebuilders Barratt and David Wilson Homes are revealing their hot drink preferences and giving advice on how to make the best cuppa.
The survey of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ site teams confirmed that a good brew is 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.
Surprisingly, 53% of over 200 construction staff surveyed admitted they would opt for coffee over the traditional English Breakfast Tea, which came in at 39%.
The leading developer’s employees also revealed their top advice for making the best brew to tie in with the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, which is when making tea to add the hot water first (65%).
Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ builders remained loyal to tea and coffee as only 2% of respondents opted for a fruit or herbal tea as their cuppa of choice.
Jason Hearn, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “A nice strong cup of tea is quintessentially British and a general go-to when important decisions need to be made.
“We have a number of different helpful moving schemes that need careful consideration for first time buyers, second steppers and downsizers and our experienced team want to make sure that house hunters are aware of all their options.
“Keen homebuyers are always welcome to visit our friendly Sales Advisers who will always be ready to put the kettle on.”
Whilst having important opinions on hot beverages, the construction teams were also asked about their desirable dunkers.
Chocolate Digestives came out on top with 24% of the votes for the best biscuit, closely followed by Chocolate Hobnobs with 20%.
