> Households are either "Barrys Tea" or "Lyons Tea" and people are expected to have a loyal devotion to one and hatred of the other

So if you offer Barry's to a guest who is in the Lyons, are you being rude?

House rules. If you're a Lyons house and a Barrys drinker comes in, they have to put up with it. depending on how well you know them they will either quietly accept or start an argument to convince you how wrong you are

No. It would be rude to turn down a tea because you don't like the blend.

And if someone needs an emergency cup of tea they won't mind.
