    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

      As a massive tea drinker… I don’t think I’ve ever seen PG Tips or YG in the grocery store. I have to order them online. The best we get in store near me is Bigelow and Tazo, both of which are pretty mid.
