I'm American and I'm literally drinking tea right now...although then again I've also mostly grown up and currently live in the UK
That said, I do know that Americans do drink tea as a regular thing otherwise (as various different family members I have living in different parts of the country all drink tea and have kettles etc), so the answer is still yes. Also outside of hot tea (with or without milk/sugar), iced tea/sweet tea is a big thing in the US, especially in the south.
Tea is drunk here in the UK, not as much as coffee though. But I'm wondering whether it is drunk in America?
Yes. It gets called "hot tea", as they do iced tea, which is not to my taste. The US tea bags are not, IMO, a patch on PG Tips, which I get from Amazon (I'm in California). When I still lived in the UK and attended conferences around the globe, I always took a supply of PG Tips.. That's the one thing that I would have a hard time doing without.

Whenever I visit the UK I stock up on Yorkshire tea. Yorkshire > PG Tips You ever tried Lipton tea bags?
I live in the South and didn't really like "sweet tea" but it's definitely grown on me. It has more sugar than coke but it's delightful with some real Southern barbecue.
