All about tea -- thank you, Bits!

ETA: That should read, "Thank you, BRits."

Many moons ago someone posted a thread about tea and some of the Brits on this site gave me some advice. Namely, that the tea you all put milk into is English breakfast and then pointed out that levels of sweetness and amounts of milk were a matter of personal taste, so I should experiment.

So, finally, months ago I bought some Twinings English Breakfast. I put a little honey and some heavy cream in it and it is the best tea I have ever had.

Thanks for the tips! (Hee hee. I said "tips.")

Oh, Brits.

Oh, Brits.

Hehe.

Awe crap. My stupid keyboard doesn't like the letter "R." And I can't edit a title.

Yeah, they really should give people a timeframe to edit their topics.. Seriously.

My Mother was a Brit, but I could never warm up to milky tea. Lemon for me please.

I like milky tea but do not class myself as British

It was the Brits who told me how to make it.

I was shocked when I learnt that milk in tea is mostly a British thing. I am classed as a Brit officially, but I class myself as Scottish. Rather confusing.

On another note I enjoy Indian tea with almond milk, very nice. I will omit the milk in green or herbal teas though.

Love scotch. Thanks!
When are you guys going to gain your independence?

Edit: forgot to mention I love love love the tai tea at Rain (resturaunt here). It is sweat, spicy, and they must be using heavy cream in it. Delicious!

Hopefully September of this year, more people are becoming pro-Independence every day but who knows. Time shall tell.

I love milk in my tea. I had no idea that this was a Brit-specific thing. I've been doing that since I was old enough to make my own tea (and dump a bunch of sugar in it because I was unsupervised). Some teas definitely lend well to milk/cream. Some do not--I'm looking at you, teas-with-a-fruit-base.

I knew Brits put milk in their tea, so I tried it with different ones and it was always awful because it wasn't the right kind! lol It's good in chai, too, though. I enjoy that, as well.

Oooh yes. I'm a fan of milk in my chai. And honey. ... And nutmeg. .... And moar honey. One thing I never found palatable was lemon or lemon juice in tea. Maybe I just haven't found the right tea?

I've never tried lemon. It seems like it would be OK in green tea mostly, but I can't stand green tea.
