Most Americans are shit at drinking it too. I know it's a stupid thing to get annoyed over but I hate it when people make tea badly then complain about how tea tastes bitter. They use boiling water and leave their bag of low grade black/green tea to sit in the water the whole time they're drinking it. Well no shit the tea is bitter, you just fucking burnt the leaves with your scalding water and left the bag in there to leech out tannins into your drink for the last 10 minutes. If I dumped some coffee beans into hot water and expected good coffee, I'd be upset too! If you made it right to start with, you wouldn't need to dump sugar and milk into it to make it slightly palatable!! 8E (rant over)

Hey man, I like my tea burnt! The bitterer the better, I say!

Then there are the people who go on and on about how much they love tea but what they actually mean is they only drink that Celestial Seasonings herbal crap.

[(Anonymous)]

Sadly, the Celestial Seasonings Herbal crap is all I have left. :(

Caffeine as a migraine trigger sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

Do decaf teas still trigger your headaches? The caffeine content of white and green teas are relatively low as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Celestial Seasonings stopped making a lot of their flavors I absolutely loved. :(

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, tisanes are great too, even if they're not tea per se.

[diet_poison]

I leave my tea bag in on purpose and I like the way it tastes like that. and I don't use sugar in my tea (or milk for most teas)

[(Anonymous)]

Sugar is never alright, but there are a number of teas that are specifically blended to be drunk with milk.

[(Anonymous)]

I never put milk in my tea.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but the idea that Americans are bad at drinking tea is a widespread meme, whereas everyone thinks that Brits are good at it

[(Anonymous)]

brit who went off tea about twenty years ago (when he was nine):

i thought the whole point, especially with the black tea brits drink, was that you were meant to scald the leaves to get the flavour out

there's always a billion stories about how british mountaineers can't make tea halfway up everest because the air pressure's too low so the water ends up boiling at about 70c or something, which results in shit tea

(which is supposedly also why americans suck at british tea - because, so the joke goes, they don't know how to boil water)

[tree_and_leaf]

Yes, you're supposed to use boiling water for the styles of black tea popular in Britain (green and white teas are another matter, of course). Pet hate in Germany: cafes who bring you an infuser of what's probably very good quality tea - and a mug of warm water.

But leaving the tea bag in is just horrid.

[fishnchips]

Oh God yes that's why I almost never drink tea in a café here. It's terrible. And I also hate that even if you get hot tea, you never no how long it's been in the cup/pot so ... when do I take it out?
There are exceptions, obviously - I've been to very nice cafés that serve great tea, but it's definitely a gamble.

[tree_and_leaf]

Yes. You can buy very good leaf tea, but I just gave up on having it out, because the failure to success rate was so awful.

[(Anonymous)]

several Brits have told me the water is supposed to be boiling the second it hits the tea leaves.
