What you're describing is English breakfast tea, which is designed to go with milk and/or sugar. It's a black tea which usually isn't from China but from the likes of Kenya and India.

Regardless; the point is it's not British originally and they ruined what they got

We got tea from India and we didn't steal it because India was owned by the British

They didn't really ruin it. They have tons of kinds of tea, one of which is not what you like. The teas you do like are probably also British.
You cunts ruined tea by making it iced, if anything.
Why is it always Yanks acting so pretentious and fedora tippy?
>>62084379
They do have California. It may not be the rest of the country's fault.

>>62084366
>the teas you do like are probably also British
If I'm drinking tea, best believe it's green or herbal
>you cunts ruined tea by making it iced
Southern style sweet iced tea isn't really seen as tea, though, that's the thing. It's called "tea," but we think of it as being basically a different drink.

This guy hates all tea, not just breakfast.
Tbqh the Burger has a point, drinking tea with milk is simply barbaric. It should be drunk with lemon juice and sugar.
>>62089449

Come on, now.
>>62089736
Our tea is brewed for a long time so it's bitter as fuck, milk helps reduce the bitterness and cools it down to a drinkable temperature while sugar improves the taste.

Please see the OP about how you guys muck up your tea and cover up the awful flavor with milk and sugar. You have proven OP's point. Thank you.
Is it not normal to take tea with milk and sugar? I didn't realise that was a strange thing.
I do find the gallon jugs of premade ridiculously sweetened refrigerated tea one finds in the American south to be odd.
They even sell it at fast food restaurants as a fountain drink.
>>62090195
It's just a strong drink to get you through the day, I thought the coffee capital of the world would get this but your pretentiousness seems to have dulled all of your braincells.
>You have proven OP's point. Thank you.
Nice samefag you drongo
>>62089862
Okay, now I'm curious, how long do you actually brew your tea? I was under the impression everyone just boiled a pot of water, threw in some filters, turned off the stove, waited like 10 minutes and that's it. Or if it's green tea then it's heating water to 60-70 celsius, and marinating the filter for a minute or two? I can't remember. I'm nowadays addicted to pure rooibos, and don't drink anything else.
>>62090060
No but I'd like to try it once. Hopefully my path will lead me to the US one day.
>>62090462

Oh wow, I thought 2-3 minutes was standard, over here we do it for 5-6.

If only your parents added sugar, spice, and everything nice to you instead of fedoras and vape juice you wouldn't be so bitter.
>>62090996
Starbucks isn't considered coffee. Like it is, but really it's a milk and sugar drink you get maybe once a month or when you're in a rush. In the morning you make your own coffee, usually black
>>62090996
>Why do Americans muck up their coffee so much with cream and sugar?
Because the majority of people that order those drinks are "omg valley girls" that can't stand the thought of something not tasting like it's got 48g of sugar in it
Also,
>Unusually popular Starbucks orders in major US cities
Pretty sure this map is for those drinks that are uniquely popular in specific places.
>>62091074
This.
>>62091074
Is that because it's better or just because it's quick and easy?
>>62091118
Yeah man all those valley girls in Minnesota.
>>62091306
It can definitely be better, though plain Starbucks coffee isn't bad, and yes: it's far more convenient most of the time. And cheaper.
>all those valley girls in Minnesota
valley girls are a stereotype and are hardly found strictly in "the valley" in LA
>>62091517
Why don't people just make the meme coffee at home too?
>>62091640
You mean the tweens that want the sugary drinks?
>omg that's soooooo lame, all my friends get starbucks and I have to make it at hoooome!
As an anglo I can guarantee this is 100% true. OP sucks cocks for bus fares.

You're missing the entire point. This tea which can be taken with milk is English breakfast tea, your standard everyday tea that often comes in teabags. It has been designed specifically to go well with milk, just like certain coffees go well with milk. Other teas are available in the UK.
>>62092188
In my experience the only coffee "meant" to go with milk is shitty coffee. Any decent brew or decent coffeeshop should be serving coffee that tastes perfectly fine black (assuming you like the taste of coffee of course).
>>62092442
Milk binds to tannins, and its proteins will also react with chlorogenic acids (CGAs), which are largely responsible for coffee’s brightness. I.E., it makes it washed out tasting.
