We Dutch love our coffee, but we also drink tea regularly. Although tea isn't as popular as it is in England, for example, it's lovely to have a cup of tea and enjoy it when you get home in the afternoon. If you're reading this and longing for a cup of tea, here are things you'll definitely recognize:
1. Tea in a pot is better.
2. Unless you have guests and need to share.
3. Drinking tea at someone else's house never goes well.
4. When someone you just met offers you a cup of tea, you have strong doubts.
5. Because you have a special way of drinking your tea.
6. And few people entrust you to make tea.
7. You secretly judge people who put too much sugar in their tea
8. You have a special super large mug at home.
9. And if it breaks, you'll be inconsolable.
10. Cake, cookies, chocolate and basically anything sweet cannot be eaten without tea.
11. You know the exact color of the perfect cup of tea.
12. You have a strong opinion about which tea brand is the best.
13. In any case, you will never run out of tea
14. Forgetting your tea is a challenge. Is it still warm enough to drink quickly, or should you leave it alone?
15. If you ever decline an offer of a cup of tea, everyone will wonder what's wrong.

17. You always take your own tea stock with you on holiday
