For anyone non-British, here is Yorkshire Tea's guide to How to make a proper brew

I wouldn't say nationality, but culture.

Like how Americans (taken generally) don't have eggcups. British people find this bewildering. On the flipside, then (as I think I mentioned above), then American lemonade is something far superior to what a British person would be familiar with.

You can probably get Yorkshire puddings outside of the UK, but it's unlikely to be a staple part of many people's Sunday dinners etc. Lots of people drink tea. The British & Irish (& Turkish!) drink more than any other country. Ergo, it is a bigger part of the culture.

ETA: You edited whilst I was replying! Anyway, it's not an important thing. :)

Cheers!

And I say 'our own blend', what I mean is that we have to tins, one with regular tea and one with Earl Grey, and when making a pot we do two spoons of regular and one of Earl Grey. (Try it!)

At work I tend to just have Earl Grey teabags. :)

I've been irritable lately.

No worries. <3

Kill it! Kill it with fire!

That is an abomination! I nearly went into diabetic shock watching it but tea it most certainly is not, not even "nearly, but not quite tea", but nothing approaching tea...ever.
