No we don’t. We don’t drink tea at all

Why of course we do. But we drink Yankee tea, which is a super concentrate of all tea leaves ever created. It’s illegal in 36 countries and if you drink it you either meet god or you have a stroke. One of the two.

You kid, but I really do find this stereotype of Americans fascinating in it’s persistence. Every supermarket I’ve been to in America during the last decade has a tea section that is double the size of the coffee section next to it. These stores wouldn’t be stocking like that if Americans weren’t buying a ton of tea, but yet the idea of America being a tea desert continues.

it’s not that they don’t drink tea, it’s that they drink it wrong

I bet it drives you nuts that we folks in the southern US like to drink our tea sweet as hell and ice cold.

The difference in coffee varieties is a lot more nuanced than tea flavors so it makes more sense for tea to have more space even if it isn’t drunken as much. It depends a lot on what part of the country you’re in too.

People who drink a lot of tea just have kettles though… I don’t know where myth that US kettles are slow came from.

American kettles are slow because you use 120V mains.
