One can enjoy teas any way they like them; but I’d always recommend they be sure to taste the teas without milk first to really appreciate the true flavours...

Some teas are exceptionally good without milk...

It's true. But it's a pretty rare black tea that I prefer without milk. It cuts through the tannin, for me

Noooo you can't do milk 1st that just ruins it, let the tea stew in the water than add the amount of milk you like, different people like different amounts of milk, unless your on about 1 cup. but still no, i think it tastes totally different with milk 1st, i;m not disagreeing , as we all have different tastes, just saying my preference x

Brew the loose leaves in a pot of hot water… using a tea strainer pour the brew into a fine china cup (with saucer) which has already had milk poured in, set it down next to your warmed scone, with butter & jam on each side.

it might say that but a lot of people when drinking tea with milk can have reactions once it hits the stomach, IE the stomach acid disagrees with the mixture and causes the person to be sick, but all people are different and have different tolerances to different things

Codswallop. All tea is acidic (pH 4.9-5.5 ish) and it contains tannic acid. Milk is alkaline so if anything, adding milk should neutralise it a bit but most people add very little, so unlikely to have much effect.

Epicatechin is found more in cocoa and green tea but much less so in black tea (who adds milk to green tea?!??)

Tea contains antioxidants, yes, but adding milk isn't making any difference to them.

Given that both tea and milk contain health-promoting compounds and nutrients, combing the two may seem beneficial - bottom line is it’s down to personal preference.

Also, medics recommend now and again that if you are used to having it with milk, then have it occasionally without milk because you could increase the benefit to your heart.

Tea connoisseurs do suggest without milk is far better. They’re the real experts, but again it’s down to personal taste...

China has a lot to answer for in terms of why we Brits seem to add milk to tea.

btw, Green Tea, is known to be less acidic than Black Tea, with a pH of 7-10. Herbal Teas like Chamomile Tea, Mint Tea and Fennel Teas are very close to neutral, ranging between 6-7 on the pH scale, while Fruit Teas like Blackberry and Rosehip are very acidic, ranging between 2-3 on the pH scale.
