It's what Brit's call bog-standard supermarket teabags.

Na, builder's tea is just very strong tea, like leaving the (bog-standard supermarket) tea bag in there for about ten minutes

That just sounds like a normal tea to me!

Is it still builder's if you add the milk at the latter part of the steeping?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

On the one hand if that's a normal tea then you're an absolute builder, on the other I don't think any builder would ever call brewing the tea "steeping"!
