1 definition by Irondan

The act of brewing cheap, inexpensive tea in a mug rather than a teapot. In addition to this, the tea is often brewed stronger and usually contains two or more spoons of sugar. Drunk usually by construction workers who haven't got the time (amongst their many breaks) to make a proper brew.
Example:

Builder 1: "Fancy a cuppa?"

Builder 2: "Yeah - I think the teapot is in the van."

Builder 1: "Don't be soft lad! The other builders will laugh at us! Get me the PG Tips"

Builder 2: "Hate builders tea, but I always have to have at least 5 before I can start work"
