'Brexiter' Is Very Disappointed To Learn That Yorkshire Tea Isn't Grown In England

The United Kingdom is known for two things — loving tea and having a climate totally inappropriate for growing tea. Most is imported from Africa and Asia, and the British go through about 60.2 billion cups of the stuff every single year. This love isn't new; in 1813, import duty on tea accounted for 10% of the British government’s entire revenue. 

One of the most popular brands in the country is Yorkshire Tea, and despite the name, most of their tea is grown in Africa and India. Twitter @RewindTheFilth recently decided to point this out to a self-described "Brexiter" who called the company "fellow patriots" on the social media platform, and added that "Yorkshire soil makes the best tea." 

Of course, he didn't seem to believe that an area that's currently under snow isn't exactly the best place to grow tea, writing (caps his, for emphasis) "ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS. MUST BE SOME OF THAT PHOTOSHOP MALARKEY. IF IT WASN’T FROM YORKSHIRE THEY WOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO CALL IT YORKSHIRE TEA AS ITS A FORM OF FRAUD."

So he decided to ask the company on Twitter, who confirmed @RewindTheFilth's point. 

The company echoed his caps, and yelled back "AFRICA AND INDIA" before adding a link he could reference for more. When he shot back at them, they trolled him for his use of caps, writing "SORRY, CAN’T HEAR YOU. CAN YOU SPEAK UP A BIT?"

Let's just say that he isn't exactly happy. 

@RewindTheFilth shared screenshots of the exchange on Twitter, where it of course went viral, picking up over 6,000 retweets and 13,000 likes. 

Unsurprisingly, people loved the exchange. 

Some people shared similar moments. 

Scottish blend isn't from Scotland?! 

Other people were disappointed by what they learned. 

Others are sure it's a parody. 

Others aren't so sure. 

Let's hope.
