Answers:
We simply don't have a hundreds-of-years-long fascination with tea like the brits do!. We like our tea the way we make it!. Most of us like a mild tea brew served over ice and (if you live in he south!.!.!.) sweetened!.

I live in a "southern" US state!. I can't find a decent country fried steak outside of my home state, either!. I doubt I could find a decent corn dog if I visited the Ukraine!. I imagine that Kentucky whiskey tastes better than the whiskey they might make in Thailand, as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Lipton was actually giving me anxiety/panic attacks!. When we realized that was the cause, I stopped drinking it!. Tetley is milder, but at least I can drink it without freaking out!. Starbucks and Borders have some flavored teas - I think they are Taso or something like that!. They're ok!. There is a little asian store by me that sells a really good oolong tea, like the kind they serve in Chinese restaurants!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

boil water, pour it over a teabag!. I use what ever is available!. Tea isn't a big thing in America like it is across the pond!. I think you'll find many more coffee drinkers than tea drinkers here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The stuff you buy at the store prepackaged is usually stale by the time we get it!. Find a bulk store that sells loose tea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I use cheap o Lipton tea bags! LOL
I normally drink coffee, but I like both!.
So what kind of tea is good outside of
America!?
Maybe we should be enlightened to better tea! EWww@FoodAQ@Com

i would say go to boston , its famous for its tea partysWww@FoodAQ@Com

They are probably missing one vital thing - a decent t-bag! PG Tips are the best! :0)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think its because they don't know how to make properly like we Brits do!.
And they use really crap teabags!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
