The average Irish person has three cups of tea a day.
Research to mark International Tea Day today shows that most of us make our cup of tea in the same way every time, with 94% following the classic sequence of tea bag, hot water and then milk.
Researchers found people in the Republic of Ireland leave their tea bag to brew for 75 seconds - that's compared to 96 seconds for those in Northern Ireland.
