Edit: pu'er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.

I didn't understand why tea is so hated in America then I went there are it was by far the worst tea I have ever had. Like worse than I could make at home if I tried to make a shit tea. Worse than I thought possible.
I used to disagree with the death penatlity in America but if they dragged the Liptons board of directors out and shot them it wouldn't be undeserved.
But how its brewed, how it's served, what it's served with, what the tea is it is all shit. I talked to a friend when I was there and he said "yea I know I brought a 50 pack with me from home. I've been here before" haha. The only place you can get a passable tea in America is on a BA flight out of the country. Even then it's a shitty airline tea but it's much better than any cafe, restaurant or pub in the country.
I don't get me started in the fucking Guinness.
Tea in America is fine. There are plenty of brands to buy and orange pekoe is perfectly okay, as long as it's not Lipton. Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings are both America brands of tea that are perfectly fine and have large offerings.
I mean, if you're that particular, just buy some PG Tips or Yorkshire Gold in the grocery store and brew it yourself.
I think the problem is that practically every place that serves tea serves Lipton, which does suck. You have to go out of your way to get quality black tea in the US. We just don't care about tea at all here, unless it's sweet tea, which is basically sugar water
