"Builder's tea is a British English colloquial term for a strong cup of tea. It takes its name from the inexpensive tea commonly drunk by labourers taking a break. A builder's tea is typically brewed in a mug with a teabag (as opposed to loose tealeaves in a teapot), with milk and sugar."

I like David's Tea, it's quite good for the price - https://www.davidstea.com/ca_en/irish-breakfast

Me, I prefer double-strength Lapsang Souchong with just enough dark maple syrup to balance, but I have an unusual palate..
