it’s a stereotype today. the Uk drinks a lot more coffee than it once did. And per capita poles and Russians drink more tea than the English today.
BUT, the English and Indian black teas are the best in my opinion.
the best black teas around are:
1. York tea (that’s a label) - very strong and good.
2. Brooke bond red label from India
3. Tetley tea - Indo-British
4. PG tips - British
The worst, absolutely worst tea is Lipton yellow label - utter swill imho
I liked some teas with a little milk but it never became a habit.
I NEVER drank coffee.
I drink too much of that pi$$, diet soda.
