Lol, well, I’m an American. I’ll just throw your British tea into a damn harbor, because I can’t afford your damn tea. Guess I could’ve just stolen it, on second thought, rather than… throwing it in the harbor. Shit. We really are a bunch of tea wasters. My bad.
I think they’re trying to reference “spilling the tea” i.e. gossip. Never seen it as “having tea”, and I can see why; it’s confusing.
You don’t have any tea to spill?
I watch over my tea like a british colonialist. Not a drop spilled. Not even for Christmas. Damn good thrashing is what you lot deserves.
It’s tough but fair.

Of course, this means war ol’ chap. Wheres’s my thrashing cane?!
Yeah. If Azul would have gone for “I like knowing the ‘tea’🤫” the punch🧃 might have landed.
I’d go with “Sometimes it spills. Delightful!”
Why make a new expression when we already have “spill the beans”? Can we stop wasting so much food‽
There’s no use crying over spilt milk.
In Renaissance era high society, a tea party is often the place where rumors brews. So basically, “having tea” implies discussing the latest rumors.
The etymology is from “t”, being short for “truth”.
I looked into it, and you seem to be right.
Did renaissance even know about tea?
Tea began to be commercially imported in Europe around the early 1600s.
Ok, That’s technically still the renaissance.
