Well, the US once made the biggest cup of tea in history.

A whole harbor.

Americans make the worst tea. Cold and salty.

Cold and salty.

Sounds suitably British.

I doubt it, but now I wonder what the biggest amount of tea that ended up in the ocean is and how to search for it. I know whole ships were lost, but digging through manifests (assuming they exist) wouldn't be fun. I also wonder how many in Asia there would have been, possibly before tea even gained popularity in the west.
