The cities that drink the most tea include Edinburgh, Leeds, Cardiff and Birmingham, while those that sup the least range from Durham to Newcastle upon Tyne, Derby and Londonderry in Northern Ireland.
Numbers per city have revealed that Scots drink six times more tea than Irish people, while we are all drinking more tea since the lockdown began in March - about two cups of tea more on average.
The regions that drink around five cups of tea a day are Scotland, Wales and East of England.
The much-loved English Breakfast tea (with milk) is particularly consumed in Edinburgh, Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester, Swansea and Manchester, with people in all these cities naming it their tea of choice.
After that comes herbal tea (24%), black tea (13%), green tea (9%) and fruit tea (7%).
The research was carried out by SaveOnEnergy.com/uk/, which also found that people admitted to forgetting they boiled the kettle about twice a day, resulting in them needing to boil it again, which the company said needlessly increased the volume of CO2 emissions.
