It's not that amazing if you think about it: a culture fostered around anything doesn't mean that something has to be particularly and objectively good. Consider Pop music for example. Also with modern technology and distribution channels, there's nothing to stop brits from getting good at critiquing tea. Full disclosure: I'm a British expat, but I know a logical fallacy when I see one! The poor in the article though had it very different. They couldn't order a new tea online, nor trivially discuss tasting notes with people in China, Japan or Taiwan for example; I think that's worth noting.
