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

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.

I do lie awake most nights thinking about it

That's kind of ok actually, at least you're not pretending it's real tea.

(also it's delicious, so you've got that going for you)
