...on a lighter note

A question to the United Kingdom.


What exactly are the varying degrees of skill by which a person can combine a teabag with a container of hot water?

I make tea several times a day. And what has made me curious about this, is the fact that over the years I've encountered more than a few English people, whom have emphatically boasted about their superior tea making abilities.

Can anyone tell me what veiled techniques are being conjured by these sorcerers of the cup and saucer, which apparently have set them apart from us mediocre tea brewers?
Is it in the wrist?

but seriously...

Do these superior water boiling skills actually exist? Or is bragging about not being an invalid just some odd little British tradition?
