You Can Get Paid £500 To Drink Tea


You can literally get paid to do what the nation loves the most. Drinking tea.

Materials Market, a marketplace for the DIY-ers and the construction industry are looking to pay three people £500 each just to drink tea.

Or more particularly, they’ll be asked to test the ‘ultimate Builder’s Brew’

Why? Because content. And you have a chance to be a part of it.

What are the requirements?

You don’t need any particular skill to apply for the role.

Though we’d say if you’re a tea-lover yourself then that’s a plus, obviously.

In addition to tea-tasting, you’ll also be asked to test out:

  • Different brands of milk

  • Sugars and sweeteners

  • How a brew should be prepared (like milk first, bag first, hot water first and so on)

  • The perfect temperature

  • Mugs, cups and flasks

  • Best biscuit for dunking.

We don’t know about you, but this already sounds like a dream gig.

Also, we think this TikTok creator has some strong views against milk first:

How to apply

Follow the link here. The application date closes on Friday 18th February 2022 and successful candidates will be contacted soon after this date.

As well as the £500 payment, the testers will receive a free supply of:

  • Various brands of English breakfast tea.

  • Sugars and sweeteners

  • Biscuits

  • Different milks to sample.
