This is a question Brits Abroad

Union jack shorts, bulldog t-shirts, bars named after soap operas, hen parties in Malaga. Tell us about your encounters with the worst (or best) of our fair country's travelers around the world. Alternatively, tell us about your own doomed quest to find a decent cup of tea in Moscow.

No, I was working
Living in South America and earning US dollars is a great combination if you want to build up some cash

I like how the general 'take cheap teabags and marmite wherever' rule
has rapidly become a specific instance of not being able to buy decent tea when a wealthy business chap in south america. Even though it's piss easy to buy proper tea almost anywhere there if you've got dollars and don't mind a hefty mark up.

I find it morally repugnant
All proper tea is theft after all

tell you what though
I know they've got a history of commies in Latin America but they drink a fucking awful indigenous non-tea as well. Coincidence? Probably. It's actually worse than that rooibos pizzle.

Never been.
I have only started travelling abroad relatively recently and Latin America is one of the places i want to visit.

don't drink the 'tea'
or ... you know ... get carjacked or kidnapped and buttraped by drug barons

but mostly don't drink the 'tea'

Should you find yourself there, try mate
Unlike the aforementioned rooibos which is pointless, horrible stuff, mate contains quite high levels of caffeine and is quite a pleasant way of socialising with the locals.

that's the stuff
I suppose it'd be almost tolerable to the sort of pleb who drinks tea dust boiled in a paper bag.
