I had a few spare teabags (Yorkshire Tea and Tetley), and since I don't drink tea I passed them on to a Chinese colleague. Unfortunately, I should also have let him know how to make English tea. He left the teabag in a cup of boiling water for about 20 minutes, and then complained to me about the bitter taste and that it was giving him a headache! And of course the concept of adding milk and/or sugar to tea is absolutely alien to someone who has only had Chinese tea. I offered to bring back some teabags from the UK, but unsurprisingly he wasn't interested.
