The great British author Creator/GeorgeOrwell (''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', ''Literature/HomageToCatalonia'') was an avid tea drinker, even going so far as to write an article on how to make [[http://www.booksatoz.com/witsend/tea/orwell.htm "A Nice Cup Of Tea"]]; Creator/DouglasAdams [[http://www.h-tea-o.net/newsletter/G001DouglasAdams/teatalk/ also wrote one]]. In general, the typical British attitude to tea is nicely summed up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA here]]. The British love of tea has also carried over to other Commonwealth nations, such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and to a lesser extent Canada, but this has less representation in popular culture. Brits will inevitably complain that people outside the UK are seemingly incapable of making a proper cup of tea.

Whenever a British character appears in an American series, they will invariably a) drink tea, and b) describe at great length how wonderful it is compared to coffee -- that is, if the character has heard of coffee before coming to the United States. In fact, the mere act of drinking tea [[IAmVeryBritish automatically marks one as British]]. In real life, coffee is quite popular in the U.K., with standard black tea consumption [[https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/02/great-britain-tea-decline/463452/ declining in favour of coffee]], although it's being bounced back by the proliferation of bubble tea, green tea, and herbal tea.
