In Australia, welcoming visitors is a bit of an art.
The moment someone steps into your home, you instinctively head for the kettle.
It’s a tradition to offer tea or coffee before even starting a conversation.
You’ll grab a mug and often pull out a biscuit tin to go with it because what’s a cuppa without something sweet?
If a guest declines the drink, it might come off as a little rude.
This custom, inherited from British culture, has transformed into a symbol of Australian hospitality, showing our warmth and friendliness to all who visit.
