I was originally thinking the former when I posted it, but ong took it another way, and I dropped it.
They take their tea seriously, is all I know about it. I presume that refusing tea is a personal affront to queen and country, regardless of the quality of said tea.
They probably whack you with a billy club and tell you to be civilized or something for shit like that.
Presumably, there would be some formal softening of the 'brewing a shit cup of tea' laws that came about during rationing when the entire nation was eating boiled shoes and rat balls, but they still had to have their tea. So telling someone they're brewing a shit cup of tea is probably just a formal statement precluding a full investigation into the tea quality by the national Tea Potability Board or something.
They have a secretary of tea, right? No, no, it'd be a lord of tea, yeah? 'Cause parliament.
I'd presume that if a husband said his wife brewed a shit cup of tea, that'd be grounds for divorce in his favor. However, refusing to drink the tea she made, regardless of quality is probably grounds for divorce in her favor.
