Y...Sorry, that should be "country's" supply of tea. You're right, Americans don't give a toss about class systems (for the most part.) In my opinion, adding the tea to the milk DOES provide a better mixture as you say and I think even froths the milk to a certain degree, giving the tea a creamier texture.<br />As far as Irish, I include Barry's in my tea repertoire. I could go on and on.

You are the first tea lover I've read who condones putting milk in the mug first. I always have done but as you know tea lovers have quite strong opinions on this subject. Some think it scolds the milk.<br />When all the conservatives were having their tea parties two months ago I was hoping and praying that meant they were dumping the countries supply of Lipton tea.
