Brook Bond is a cheap brand of tea in the UK, like PG Tips. As far as I
know there are Indian companies around which buy these western labels
(Tata, Hindustan Lever). There once was a debate whether Indian tea
drinkers would pay premium prices for higher quality teas which are
usually exported to the West. In my experience this is not the case, tea
in India is usually with milk and plenty of sugar plus spices.
