They'll drink bark-shavings and lawn-clippings like PG Tips and like it.
It took me nine months of dedicated research, trying everything from local supermarket slop to oh-so-little-finger-posh Knightsbridge exclusives, to find a breakfast tea that was acceptable to a somewhat more discriminating palette.
The best tea I ever had was in a slightly arty cafe in Barcelona.
Tea is relative. And compared to the ubiquitous Finnish Liptons, anything is an improvement. But spare a thought for your colonial brothers. PG is where it at. You can't be me, I'm taken
Two effete Wiltshire sommelier's tea bags steeped for half an hour should put most people on hyper for the rest of the day.
That's why I drink it, anyway. That and I quite like the taste, too.

But we use multi-lensed POVs here. Are we talking cultural, chemical, physiological or semantical? To describe something as 'tea' is merely a limitation upon categorization. 8 -) You can't be me, I'm taken
Call me biased, but the best tea I ever had was in Darjeeling.
Question is, what sort of Darjeeling ? single estate ? Blend (consistent) soth facing, north facing. Believe me, go to Harrods food hall and you can buy such diversity and they're very interesting (s facing slightly more floral - n facing more body and tweak of bitterness)
But I moved towards Assam hits for everyday drinking. My perfect breakfast tea is Orange Pekoe/Keemun tea mixed with Lasang suchong and left to brew for about 20 - 30 minutes. That's a wake up call. keep to the Fen Causeway
