>bagged tea
>superior to anything

I find it funny that Britbongs are supposed to be the world experts on tea and yet all of the many britfags I know have absolutely shit tier taste when it comes to tea. And no, I don't care if you're not a Britbong, OP

It's kind of like how the English have an organic knowledge of English but have less technical knowledge than some continental Europeans that were taught English as a school subject. Europeans know English better than the English sometimes.

In the same way tea is so ubiquitous in Britain our standards are actually pretty modest, we add milk and sugar etc. When you go to continental Europe, they mostly drink coffee so when they offer tea its more of a specialist or luxury item. At least that is my impression, drinking delicious loose leaf tea in Holland.

Yorkshire lass here, can confirm, Yorkshire tea is best tea.

Now for the explanation. In the UK a cup of tea (cuppa, brew, whatever) is a thing in of itself- black teabag, hot water, milk and sugar. Having a brew isn't much about the brew itself, its about sitting with a warm drink on your break at work, when you've gotten home after an exhausting day, to sit together and chat over it or sit alone and pull your head together over it. We know bagged tea isn't the best. Yorkshire tea is the best tea of a bad situation though. I've had some awful brews in my time, but the best ones are always Yorkshire tea. I love all kinds of tea, I'm more into green teas myself, but Il have the occasional black with milk and sugar. The whole milk and sugar thing shouldn't work, but when done well, it does work; because when you're gagging for a drink and a break, something warm and comforting and caffeinated and a lil bit of sugar to get you through the next 8 hours of your shitty factory job before home, a well made brew sorts you out.

I like making my own blends from loose leaf. Sainsburys has the best range, but the nicest was some my dad brought back from Sri Lanka from tea plantations.

Coffee is better than tea.

British tea is mostly all pretty lousy
if you care about good tea buy asian leaves and use an infuser or just throw them in the mug grandpa style

There's nothing wrong with either from an availability and convenience standpoint, but it's not high quality or the best tea/coffee out there.
