I heard a lot of "our tea is better" from British people all across the internet. But I found many of the ones I chat to not actually had American tea. I'm not even sure what "American" tea is tbh. I walk into the store and see a bunch of different flavor and brand. Or see Iced sweet tea in the refrigerated section. Or I walk into Starbucks and see a whole set of different tea flavor sand names. I don't really like tea so I haven't taken to trying many of these.

I tried googling this but the main differences I could find is that UK put milk in their tea.
I'm asking people with experience/account with both/multiple countries and not just: "I tried one type of tea in America"

So what's the tea?

there's no such thing as american tea

I don't think so.
It's just drinking quality tea (hot, not iced) is more common in UK than in the USA.

Don't they have Lipton or Twinings in America?

Really? I seen more people drinking hot tea than iced here though.

Yes.

Ewww



Bad tea sis.

They're the two major brands I can think of. I live for Twinings' black tea tho, I always pour milk in it

There is no difference cos its all british

Ahahah sorry i'm a tea drinker so i can't live for industrial tea

I never understood the point in putting milk or sugar in tea. I take mine pure and green.

There are several outlets that sell organic, non-industrial tea here. My mom usually makes the Chinese representatives of the company she works at bring her tea straight from China, that one slays

Milk doesn't taste good at all in green or white tea, only black or English breakfast tea imo.

There is no such thing as British or American tea. Most of the tea British/American companies sell is from India, China or Japan.

I always known about the Chinese tea thing. But what kind of tea does Japan and India make?

+1. I only do it when I a crave for Starbucks and want a London Fog or a Chai Tea Latte ( )

Britain is notorious for it's love of tea. The other place is not

I'm not 100% sure about this but Japanese tea (like Sencha) is not used for flavoured green or black tea, etc.
It's quite expansive so it's only drinked as it, and sell in tea shops.

Turkish tea is better. It is made in this different kettle set and is more aromatic and also more dark reddish I prefer coffee though

Çay truly slays.

Bingo.
Britain got their tea from India.
