Oxford builder reveals coffee more popular than tea

Barratt and David Wilson Homes builders in Oxfordshire revealed their top drinks and biscuits to mark National Tea Day, which falls on April 21.

Despite the UK consuming an estimated 100 million cups of tea daily, 58 per cent of survey respondents said they preferred coffee, compared to just 28 per cent who chose tea.

Chanda Chileshe, head of sales at Barratt and David Wilson Homes, said: “When important decisions need to be made, there’s no better time for a nice, hot cuppa.

“It’s not a surprise to see coffee named the beverage of choice, alongside top-tier dunkers Hobnob and Digestive.

“Whatever your drinking preference, we are always ready to put the kettle on for our customers looking for their first or next home and welcome anyone interested to visit our sales advisers for a cuppa and a chat.”

Most workers, 87 per cent, said hot water should be poured first when making a cup of tea.

A health-conscious 61 per cent preferred their drinks without sugar.

Tea and coffee remained the dominant choices, with only 14 per cent opting for alternatives like hot chocolate or herbal teas.

Chocolate Hobnobs were named the top biscuit for dunking, earning 31 per cent of the votes, narrowly beating chocolate digestives at 26 per cent.

Others gave honourable mentions to shortbread, rich tea, and cookies.
