My Bangladeshi mom uses Lipton tea bags and a bit of milk.
I hope that wasn't an appeal to some kind of authority. All that tells me is that some Bangladeshi women have even worst taste in tea than this ignorant American. There's quite a wide gulf between not wanting to consume the least common denominator and making a lifestyle out of it. As for flavors, just because one's view says tea should only come in one flavor doesn't mean reality has to agree.

- jolmg 7y ago> than this ignorant American I can't see rayiner giving any indication that they were American, though.
- mikestew 7y agoNo, I'm the ignorant American. Lipton is suitable only for iced tea. Then again, maybe Lipton is fine and I just don't like orange pekoe tea.

- rayiner 7y agoNone of my aunties ever mentioned where the tea came from. That wasn’t a thing. https://www.dhakatribune.com/business/2018/02/20/value-addition-bright-future-tea-industry https://www.dhakatribune.com/business/2018/02/20/value-addit... > “In the past, people used to drink normal black tea. But now, they are not satisfied with the normal tea and moved to organic and value added products, concerned about their health benefits and taste,” SM Didarul Hasan, senior manager (marketing) of MM Ispahani Limited, told the Dhaka Tribune. “Normal black tea” is what everyone drank when I lived there. “Normal black tea” was universal and egalitarian, instead of individualistic and self indulgent. Appropriately conformist and British.
