Is the #UK the only country in the world to have a type of #tea called 'normal'?

I'm drinking normal tea right now.

@trinsec Actually, no. It's everyday blended tea of any particular brand.

@trinsec Normal tea.

Just blended tea you buy to make a cup of tea.

@lydiaconwell That is not saying much, to be honest. So even strawberry tea would be 'normal' since that's got some blends in too?

@trinsec OK. It's black tea, not a specific type like Earl Grey or English Breakfast, just sold, mostly in teabags, as 'tea' in the supermarket.

Then you poor boiling water on the teabag, let it brew for a few minutes, then add a splash of milk.

And that's normal tea.

@lydiaconwell Ah ok, black tea. Kinda like ceylon tea, or maybe even sorta english breakfast (since that is a blend of various black teas, including ceylon, I believe). Generic black tea. I guess that's what English Breakfast tea is for us, that's the most generic type tea you can buy over here.

@lydiaconwell Or maybe not 'most generic' but at least 'most usual' or 'most abundant'.
