I always think of Rich Teas as the worst kind of lowest common denominator, where everything which anyone could object to has been removed, leaving some sort of Essence of Bland.
General expressions of disinterest concerning Rich Tea I can understand, but I don't quite agree with this comment. The one respect in which Rich Tea aren't perfectly unremarkable is that they're extremely biscuitty (by which I mean dry, hard and brittle) whilst also being highly durable. These characterstics are seldom called for, but if you're serious about dunking biscuits in hot drinks then it helps quite a lot.
Around 20 years ago or so my sister also discovered that if you have two Rich Tea biscuits and a jar of chocolate spread then good things can happen.
