Watched my neighbors house in Houston when they were visiting the UK, and they offered to bring back something as a thank you. I asked for a box of loose Yorkshire tea. They thought this was pretty funny since it is the American equivalent of asking for a six-pack of Budweiser Beer. But you know, sometimes those mass-market products are just perfect.

Good choice, I understand. I live in the North of England and here "tea" means "Yorkshire tea" at least with me, my family and my friends. Once my uncle went to the shop to get some tea bags for my grandma, he came back with tetleys and my grandma Said "why didn't you get yorkshire tea" Uncle: "they didn't have any" Grandma: "Tetleys is barely even tea!!". That's some brand loyalty right there lol.
