The great Brit' tea survey & competition!

Well we have the results from month one and I consumed a total of 67 mugs in 31 days.

So now it's over to you, you have one months results to work with and figure out how many cups I will consume in a year!

Only hot tea counts, so you may need to take into account a bit of a drop off in the heat of summer (May-Aug). Although I do drink hot tea all year round and generally have a cup every morning on rising. That's all the clues I'm giving!

Comment here with the total # of mugs you think I'll consume this year through Dec. 31st. I will only leave the comments on this open until the end of February.

I will keep the score here and on Jan 1st 2010 I will go back in and see who got the closest. They will then receive a box of British tea goodies, including a rather nice drinking cup.

So come on, see if you can guess how much tea a Brit' consumes? I love to hear how much you drink too, but please specify if that is also your guess for me.

Ok, I'll take a wild guess and say 550 for 2009.

This got me thinking about how many cups of tea I drink and I think it's about 2190 a year which sounds crazy!!!!

I love tea too but I'm not sure that I drink more then 25 cups a month, cause i also like coffee. Now my guess for you is 773 cups
Don't know how I came to that number...just a pure guess!
Your blog is fun...!

Hi! My guess is that you will drink 365 cups of tea this year.

I prefer iced coffee or iced tea, myself.

Troy said...

My guess would be 659 cups. I'm cheating actually as I read somewhere that tea is good for you providing you don't equal or exceed 660 cups a year (if you believe that, you'll believe anything, I just want to win).

[word verification - God's honest truth - was "winer" so that was close already]

Mare said...

I'm guessing 502! Gut feeling! Then I thought 603, but they say you should stick with your first answer and not change it...so, it's 502...tada!

George and I each drink 2-3 cups of hot tea daily. One of those is green tea and the others are different kinds including flavored. I would guess that I drink about 912 cups of tea in a year.

Hugs,
Betsy

Sherri said...

Oh I think it will be 600 cups a year! I drink only tea, but I like it hot and cold. Sarah, you always have such fun things on here!

George said...

I'll take a guess at 563 cups of hot tea for the year.

Jan said...

I love tea, too. My guess is 498 cups of hot tea.

I have been ciphering on this in my capacity as a registered professional chemical engineer in the state of Oklahoma and my ciphering tells me that you will drink 744 cups of hot tea in 2009.

I'm glad I'm not the only one keeping track of my tea intake! Though I am including iced tea (perhaps 10 glasses in Jan) I have frightened myself at my monthly totals.

Another Brit gal Sarah here...I reckon you'll consume 700 cups this year.

Mmm said...

I want to win, I want to win!! OK, OK, I'm saying 690. BTW, like the new photo on the side.

Vickie said...

997 for 2009 is my guess for you.

I am now pretty much exclusively a tea drinker of the hot variety. Coffee started playing a number on my stomach, so I switched to tea alone. I go in search of different types. Primarily I dig Twinings, Celestial Seasonings and Bigelow as brands.

743

Higher, higher....lower, lower.
I have no idea, say 809.

Gutsy Living said...

Not a single coffee?
711 cups is my guess.

Srg said...

I've done a few calculations based on your current consumption and the relation between relative heat and your stated decrease in consumption and I came up with about 675 cups for the year. What can I say - i love math!

Anglophile Football Fanatic said...

That's all? I'm at about 3 cups a day. I'll guess 850.

Sandy said...

After a bit of noodling.. I am going to take a guess and say 685 cups.

A Brit in Tennessee said...

I'd say 820 ...

Bella Foxx said...

I'm going to guess 735.

Kay said...

Put me down for 823. :=)
I drink decaf green tea on most days but coffee mocha in the mornings. I remember liking the taste of cream and sugar in tea while in England but not here. I must be using the wrong kind of tea. Tsk.

karen said...

wow, i'm late here! don't know how i missed this one! I'm going with 752 cups for you, Brit' Gal! :-)

Anonymous said...

I will take a sweeping guess at 524 mugs.....Mmmmm off to brew a pot now!

Tea Lady said...

1070 in a year. That is 3 cups on average per day.

Btw - I like that you have milk in your tea. I like milk in mine also.

Anonymous said...

2200 is my bet :)

Pat said...

I'll say you will drink 788 cups of tea in 2009.

I drink about 490 cups (mugs) of tea each year. I learned to put milk in my tea when I lived with a family in Dundrum, near Dublin, Irleand in 1968-69.

Janet said...

Okay, I'll play, my guess is 565 cups, this year.
