Does anyone still drink tea in the UK? : askuk

The UK still imports £223m in tea a year. It has gone down since COVID. £271m.

But yes tea is still a very popular drink in the UK.

What did you think might have changed in order for people in the UK to stop drinking tea?

The rise of other beverages in the country.

Like coffee and sodas.

I know this will piss off british ppl but the brits dont drink tea. They drink warm (not hot, warm) milk with a flavor of tea (from a bag btw).

Well that's a good way to get Brits riled up. Next, you'll be saying that biscuits are French. 😱
