Everything is wrong with it. If I'm drinking tea, it's to taste tea.

Also most bongs I've talked to steep their tea in water that is too hot and usually for too long. This produces tea that is excessively bitter an tannic, which is what drives people to feel the need to add milk and sweetener.

You don't just throw tea in boiling water you know.

You do when you get the bottom tier black tea China had been importing in the beginning.

You gotta understand that black tea was a lot less delicate than white, green, or oolong and stayed "good" longer when you're taking months upon months to deliver something over to the UK.

At this point most of the tea they've become accustomed to is blended specifically to go with some milk.

It's fine to enjoy good quality products, but it's equally fine to enjoy builders tea brewed in an old shoe, if that's what you like. It's even fine to enjoy both, for different reasons. But you, and people like you, can't understand that because you never actually stop to just enjoy it; you're too busy worrying about the provenance of the ingredients and precisely how hip the preparation and presentation is. You analyse and inspect and agonise over it. What pisses me off the most is that you don't even CARE about the actual end product; you only want it to be the obscure, complex and "pure" so that you can be smug and pretentious.

When it comes to black tea there is no such thing as too hot. You simply can't steep most back tea unless the water is fresh boiled. Also there is nothing wrong with some tannins in you tea, its part of what gives black tea distinct flavor profile. You can avoid excess of bitterness by not squeezing the teabag or pressing out the leaves. Letting it steep for up to 5 minutes wont hurt it.

Milk and sugar helps to even out the profile into something smooth and refreshing. Although personal I think sugar in tea is for children (except in masala chai with honey). I think a splash of milk is always an improvement for black teas.

Other types of teas like green, white, and red certainly need cooler temps and usually dont need milk and sugar because they already have low tannin count.

Plebs. Even the Japs know that MF is the alpha and omega of black tea (and their green lines aren't too bad either).

Its just too bad its a complete bitch to get in the USA without paying insane shipping rates. Wish we could get a distributor.

I recommend for newbies;
French Earl Gray - Light and zesty with blue cornflowers.

Marco Polo - Famous classic with a really strong exotic fruity and floral aroma. Like Christmas Pudding with an Asian kick. If you don't like that sorta thing you will hate it.

Wedding Imperial - A personal favorite that is really rich and chocolaty with bit of burnt caramel aroma. Amazing with rich desserts.

Dimbula - Great as a standard BOP Ceylon from a nice region. Fine grated fannings for more general use, good for breakfast and lunch paired with savory and spicy foods.

Sure, because most black tea consumed in the west is of poor quality and unpleasant by itself.

You won't find anyone advocating to put milk in a high quality darjeeling or a single estate ceylon because there's nothing needed to cover up.

We use Ahmad brand Ceylon black tea leaves with just a small quantity of milk. It doesn't taste bitter and makes the best 'English' tea for sipping between mouthfuls of sponge cake.

Rinse out tea pot with boiled water and then fill with a generous spoonful (there's a special spoon that came free with the tea once that is something like the size of a dessert spoon but wider) of leaves for each cup you want. Fill pot with recently boiled water, give it a stir then close lid and cover with tea cozy. Wait 3 minutes, uncover, stir and drain, straining out the leaves into each cup. Add required amount of milk and enjoy.

Eh, Earl Grey is ok with milk if you brew it really strong. Adding sugar is disgusting though.

Properly brewed Earl Grey doesn't require milk to mask the bitterness though.

I almost never order tea in Japan because they just can't do it right.

Nah m8 - Earl grey is one of the few teas the brits don't fuck up with moo juice. You're doing it wrong, as I'm sure you've been told already in the thread.

I'm a britbong who grew up on builder's tea, stewed for ages till you could stand a spoon up in it, milk in it bla bla bla, and I used to think that was the business.

Now I live in Yurop, and the tea here is lighter, less tannic, the blends are different (although often made by britbong firms like Lipton and Horniman etc.). The tea's lighter, and tastes better and after a decade away, I have to say that English blend tea tastes disgusting to me.

I think we've been doing it wrong all these years tbh. The british are pretty much the only people who habitually put milk in their tea (inb4 India, Britain introduced tea to india and taught them to do it wrong), and I think this is one case where being the special snowflake is just wrong.

Tea without milk is better.

France has already gone that way tbh. Marine le Pen is very popular, and something like 75% of jews who were polled said they'd seriously considered emigration.

France has always been a country with a prediliction for anti-semitism and fascism, especially when you get outside Paris, and in the South, where they're little better than superstitious Spaniards.

Holland may well be the next. They're already talking about eliminating the welfare state and cutting back on immigration (even though the economy will die if they have to rely on lazy cloggers to do all the work).

People all over Europe seem to have caught a profound case of the dumb and they'll blame anyone for their misery, except for the governments which actually caused it.

You've got to admire self-delusion on that scale.

Actually there is a very structured and complicated system of ranking and categorizing Indian tea, and they have a similar system in Japan. Even in China there are multiple competitions each year to find the best tea in various styles of tea. Taiwan also has a sort of naming system for new or experimental crops.

Daily Mail readers would be more worried about the demolished property prices in the evolved world, and would also have a picture of Cheryl Tweedy in a bikini.

We could feed, house, and clothe every single person in the world if we wanted to. We have the resources and technology for it. If we did made it a priority, we could do these things much more efficiently than we currently do. The only reason we don't is because there are idiots like you who still break up humanity into smaller groups, when we're all people trying to survive. The world is a harsh enough place already without other people making it even harder.

What the fuck are you on about? Are you claiming that the average cup of tea isn't PG Tips, Tetley or Yorkshire or something?

Or are you actually trying to tell me what British tea is like everywhere in the country in every house and in every caff?

European tea is lighter and has different blends because it's blended to be drunk without milk. British tea is more tannic and stronger because it's designed to be drunk with milk.

inb4 lol wiki, there's whole books about it, it's common knowledge. They used to have tea parties, like tupperware parties, to introduce the whole concept to Indians so they could fuck the Chinese over.

What did you think, it's an indigenous Indian drink or something?
