My sister admitted to the correction and from then on made the tea according to specifications.

TIL: When talking about tea, Brits sound like us Germans. ;-)

Nope, you guys think all teas are equal and dont just have a single shelf with black tea labels and some fruit teas under it - you have a a whole damn aisle of "tea", where caffeine is just another fruit

I was thinking more about specifying an everyday process down to insanely detailed levels.
Best making a DIN-norm out of it, to be on the safe side...

Our understanding of tea is largely crap though, that part is right... Although it is getting better, some tea culture is spilling over from you guys. :-)
