That doesn't surprise me in the slightest bit. And a slice of lemon, or is it a twist lol.

I like lemon in mine sometimes but not with cream. I do like tea with cinnamon and honey, though.
Just to be clear, it’s half-and-half, not full cream.

Starbuck's makes their coffee too strong, what makes one think that their tea is any better?!!! High octane!!! 
That's cream in my book! When I first came across the term 'cream tea' (I was quite young) I thought it meant tea with cream in it, rather than tea accompanied by scones, jam and clotted cream.
I’ll bet a whole lot of Americans thought the same thing!
It fills that spot between whole milk and single cream - more fat than whole milk, less fat that single cream.
You prefer to think of it as cream, I prefer to think of it as super whole milk!
…and I’m drinking coffee this morning! With heavy cream!

I'm having plain green tea at the moment and will have coffee with cream and sugar shortly. One cup of each.
I sometimes have coffee with flavored Coffee Mate (powdered creamer) as a dessert kind of beverage. I wouldn't do that with tea.
I do like flavored teas, but only over ice. Peach iced tea is good.
Otherwise, I drink my (hot) tea with just a bit of honey for some sweetness. I prefer honey to sugar in tea.
BTW, in the UK, you probably have to specify iced tea, if you want that. In the US South, you have to specify HOT tea. If you just ask for tea, it will be iced.

I love Southern sweet tea, so dark you can't see through it. Up here iced tea is usually almost clear and lacks flavor (might as well just order water), and they don't have sweet tea in most places. If I ask for sweet tea, the server will generally indicate to the sweetener packets on the table, which I don't like because it doesn't dissolve well when cold.
Yeah, good sweet tea requires that you dissolve the sugar in HOT tea.
I usually buy my sweet tea in gallon jugs, but I do sometimes make it at home. Restaurants down here, even fast food places, make at least decent sweet tea.

I rarely make sweet tea up here for myself because I only drink it on occasion (goes great with fried chicken). And they don't carry Luzianne!

To be honest, I think you'd be really pushed to find "Iced Tea" in the UK, just as you would a cup of "builder's Tea" in the USA.
