cuppa
Informal tea serving
Cuppa is British slang for a cup of tea: I could murder a cuppa right now.
The word captures tea's central role in British daily life—offered in times of crisis, comfort, or simple hospitality.
Sometimes extended to coffee, though tea remains the default.
Come in and have a cuppa.
