If you are in a cosmopolitan area there’s plenty of access to tea houses serving loose leaf Japanese and Chinese tea that would satisfy the most demanding tea enthusiast. That doesn’t begin to count the non-traditional items like boba, tisanes, etc.
The USA doesn’t have much of a British style tea tradition, but that’s mostly because it’s a diverse nation and British tea and food is mostly crap to begin with. Why would the US drink British tea when there are so many alternatives that are actually good?
You can straight up buy loose leaf Chinese tea like oolong in the US from basically any Asian/international grocery store. I don’t like tea very much, but that’s the best tea I’ve had including the English black tea I’ve tried, which wasn’t that good imo.
