    English tea is piss poor. After visiting tea plantations around the world, everyone agrees, English tea is basically sweepings from the floor. Nothing good ever went into an English teabag. 🤢

          It’s tragic that you drink tea to feel “classy”, rather than to simply enjoy it as a drink.

          And to answer your question - a lot of countries add milk to tea. I don’t know where this myth that only the UK does it comes from.

      You may be correct, but what you’re doing is a bit like walking into spoons, and telling a larger lout that his Carling is pisswater.
      Not necessarily wrong, but possibly not tactful.

        No, they aren’t correct. They just happen to like their tea prepared differently, and look down on anybody who doesn’t like what they like.
