About BriefTea: News in 60 Words

The news app that explains what it assumes you already know. Most news assumes you already know who everyone is and how everything works. BriefTea doesn't. Every story is 60 words of plain English, and when a story loses you, you can keep pulling the thread until it finally makes sense. NEWS IN 60 WORDS Short news summaries you'll actually finish. UK and world news, politics, business, tech, science, sport and culture, written clearly and without clickbait or jargon. Catch up properly in the time it takes to make a cuppa. KNOWLEDGE GALAXY Curiosity shouldn't stop at the headline. Open a story's Knowledge Galaxy and tap the people, places and terms you don't recognise. Every answer opens new questions, so one story can become a whole constellation of understanding. BREW TEA Some stories deserve a proper sit-down. Brew Tea turns the biggest stories into swipeable visual decks with the background, the key players and why it all matters. DAILY QUIZ Think the news stuck? Take the daily news quiz, build a streak and see where you rank. Learn a little, prove it, make it stick. NEWS THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME No endless feed engineered to keep you scrolling. A few nudges a day for the stories that genuinely matter, not a buzz every ten minutes. Read what you need, then put the phone down. Whether you have 60 seconds or an hour, BriefTea meets you where you are: a quick briefing on the commute, a deeper dive at lunch, a quiz before bed. Built for people who want to understand the news, not just skim it. Stay brief. Get curious.
