Just read through the most geo-blinkered legacy tumblr thread about iced tea (in a bottle) being a thing in the US but not so much in the UK. E.g. Brit: AMERICAN MADNESS; American: HAHA BRITS SO STUFFY AMERICA IS FUTURE.
What nonsense did I just waste my time reading?? π
Meanwhile Asians were rightly ignoring this whole non-issue between the tea newbies.
Well, so long as the Brits and Americans had fun playing together. ππ
Look, if it's tea, I'll probably drink it. Hot or cold, fresh is best but if only bottled is available, I'm drinking it. (Some exclusions apply - but only a very few.)
Tea is life.
@Agatha Aussies tend to follow traditional UK tea habits, not surprisingly, but in recent decades we've been getting more adventurous with the Asian-influenced teas in cafes or self-brewing, including the flavoured bottled iced teas being common in supermarkets etc. I don't think I personally would have seen it as an American cheapening of tea therefore, so the thread was kind of amusing. I guess iced teas just don't make as much sense in colder climates anyway. π€π
@Zaiene
I was raised on hot tea (California native). I never even knew about iced tea until I was moved to the south in the 80s. I found it disgusting initially - took me a year to acclimate to it! π
