A Yorkshire farmers’ market shared this pot of tea and it got exactly the responses it deserved
There’s nothing like Yorkshire Tea, right? Except when it’s made by this Yorkshire farmers’ market, obviously.
Happy #YorkshireDay peeps! Did you know all of our stalls are local to #Leeds? Come and visit us on 11th August 😀 pic.twitter.com/H0vDzw2hBc

If this is how they make tea in Yorkshire, we should take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to make sure. https://t.co/wSmpZm7c3V

To conclude …
I mean, was that deliberate, to get mild but widespread social media outrage? If so – well played! If not, and you actually drink tea this way – well, you're going on trial for crimes against humanity either way.
