QuixoticgeekWhen in non English speaking countries and ordering tea, should "English breakfast tea" be translated when ordering i.e. "Engels ontbijt thee"? Or should it be ordered using the original English?
Charlie Stross@quixoticgeek But why would you *want* English breakfast tea when Irish breakfast tea is so much better? (Blinks innocently, then ducks and runs)
@cstross cos where I am in Wien, they didn't have any Irish breakfast. Which is my preferred brew at home
@quixoticgeek Oh, right. (I report to English breakfast tea when travelling through the uncivilized wilderness too.)

You may want to order Ostfriesentee or Friesentee in German language countries. Very similar blend.
I learned this the other way round, when I tried to find decent tea in Ireland.
