One of the other things about the Tea gag that bugged me, is that even if hot tea isn’t as prevalent in the US, there is a huge ice tea and sweet tea business, espcially in the south.
I could see a bit where Ted makes a joke about needing a cup of sugar for the cup of tea, but not that he doesn’t know enough about hot tea to the point that he takes a sip and spits it out.
Finding out later that his Mom is a huge Tea fan when she comes to visit helps showcase that he knows darn-tooting-well about Tea and its likely varieties.
