I agree with you to an extent, although I would argue it is more of a cultural thing than necessarily a "lack of knowledge". English people started brewing tea badly and loading it with sugar and milk in the seventeenth century, and very little has changed since then! China, Japan, Korea, India and many other countries have wonderful rich tea cultures, but you have to accept that England also has its own, albeit it somewhat different! Scone anyone?
Big up Yunnan Sourcing btw, never ordered from them but have heard good things from fellow tea heads!
I just hate the debate about which teabag is better when all of them are absolute garbage.
You are right, it's just embarressing.
Yunnan sourcing is grand. The guy is really helpful as well. Never had any bad Tea from him. The prices are also pretty reasonable in comparison to other stores.

Iced with so much sugar it's just runny syrup. This and a BBQ sandwich, I'm in heaven.
But normally, it's just green. Straight green tea.

Tazo Awake, after that Earl Grey, a solid English Breakfast, or of course Lipton!

considering what you've just said here...
if you're ever in the greater philadelphia area,
it is a moral imperative that you visit Sweet Lucy's BBQ

I've been partaking in a lovely Japanese/Chinese (im not sure which) tea called 'Buddha's Tears'.
a very nice drop, its slight bitterness can be removed with a dash of honey
