My wife, a Canadian, found it hilarious that we actually do drink tea as much as the world thinks we do, which is right bang on with your OP. When I first went to visit her family he mom bought a 100 bag of “Orange Pekoe” tea, which is actually the brand used for what we call just “tea”, and they all laughed about having bought it for me - and I laughed with them, whilst also being quietly grateful to have them buy it. I used a lot of it in the weekend I was there.
