Maybe if youre white trash lol. British "cuisine" is soulless garbage and mostly slop, its astounding how they conquered the world but learned nothing about anything involving good food or ingredients. Like they even fucked up tea... What the fuck. Dont @ me i dont care, also english breakfast looks like garbage to anyone who doesnt drive a forklift for his day job

Something cringy about seeing people namedrop celebrities they never actually met

>I was one of the chefs for the royal family
>the queen may have possibly eaten something i cooked once

I guarantee he was never in the same room as the queen, and they probably have 30 chefs at any given time.

Tea is grown on a plantation, and then picked by hand. It's then oxidized; the "lighter" the color, the less oxidized (so white tea is barely oxidized at all, black tea is very oxidized, yellow is in between, etc). Ideally, you want big leaves (they curl inside themselves). During all of this, you get little bits of tea that get ground up, broken, etc. These are especially prevalent in the production of Black Tea, where the tea is intentionally oxidized and then dried (in other kinds of tea special methods are used to dry and prepare it without oxidizing it). These "sweepings" or "dust" are still usable. Traditionally, they'd be put into a little bag.

When tea is steeped, you traditionally just toss tea leaves into a large tea pot and then pour the tea from the large pot into smaller cups (with some kind of filter or strainer used to keep the leaves from leaving the pot). Hot water can then be added to the large pot, allowing multiple steepings. You can't do this with the sweepings/dust as it's too fine and might slip past the filter/strainer, and anyways they leach out all of their highly-oxidized tea in one go so you can't really do multiple resteepings. So, what they'd do is put the sweepings/dust in a big bag that is then placed into the large pot, or smaller bags that would be put right into the cup.

The result of this is very harsh so traditionally you'd put other things in it, like sugar, spices, herbs, in the Indosphere milk, etc. All of this develops between 200BC (when tea processing is perfected by the Chinese) and 400AD (when the teatrade results in tea plantations in India and an Indian tea culture).

When Europeans came to Asia, they adopted Asian tea culture practices, such as the straining/filtering systems (the Russian Samovar results from Russian Tea Culture, which is the oldest and most mature European tea culture). When the British began posting soldiers in Asia, these soldiers would buy tea with their wages. They ended up consuming almost exclusively bagged black tea because buying black tea and adding milk, honey, spices, etc was cheaper than buying higher-quality tea. This ended up catching on as what tea is "supposed to be" among the lower/middle classes of Britain, and thus America. The culmination of this is Earl Grey, which is just pitch black tea with bergamot oil. Anon is probably referring to this as not being "authentic", which is incorrect as the Chinese were making sinfully black-tea and then adulterating it around the same time that Plato was walking around. Rather, British tea culture as a whole has shunted forms of tea other than taking Earl Grey (which only caught on because of its cheapness, its ease of putting caffeine into the bloodstream, and for the fact that because it's so fucking awful that everyone gets to come up with their own ~delightful~ little ensembles by which they add things to it to cover up the taste) off to the niche hobby of "tea snobs". There's tea snobs in China, of course.

Anon is merely half aware of this and trying to look smart by regurgitating something he barely understands because British cuisine bad (because, uh... because, okay?).
