Not me.
I have two stipulations when it comes to tea:

Very strong with a dash of milk. Kind of like builder's tea.
No sugar.

Other than those, I couldn't give a fuck if you put the teabag in first or last or whatever. Life's too short to worry about things like that.

Also, put your own fucking kettle on.

I have to confess:
I have while making an English tea put the teabag in first, then the milk on top. It tastes just the same....

May I ask then
Does it curdle the milk or something horrible? Or is it just 'not the done thing'?

also, the higher the temperature the better it works.
So if you put milk in first, you bring the temperature down and fuck it all up.

I don't drink cheap shitty english teas though.

Aaaaah...
OK, as a social experiment I shall make myself two cups of tea at lunchtime and see if there are differences.

yes I'm very sure the rate of change will be different.
DEAR WORLD:

YOU ALL USE THE WORD "DIFFERENTIATE" INCORRECTLY.

PLEASE STOP IT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT.

Language clue:
if the world uses it one way, that's what it means.

Not really.
Although that's the case sometimes (and yes, it's how language evolves), there are still occasions where words are simply used incorrectly.


In the face of online evidence, I stand corrected. But I'm pretty sure they're recent definitions.

I fully agree upon this

tea is crafted to have the flavour released when introduced to boiling water
if you put the teabag in the milk, then you have a soggy mush and the tea leaves are effectively saturated with milk so the teaness is trapped inside.
now if you make the tea in a pot, you may or may not put the milk into the cup before you pour the tea. It's debatable wether or not you should do that or pour and then put the milk in. That's an argument that may never be settled

but if you put the teabag in the milk then you should be banished to the land of ice-tea for all eternity

Shame on me
But I wouldn't actually mind that punishment; I like iced tea. Sometimes I make my own if I'm very, very lonely.

and he's not rapping, it's a land entirely poplutated by ice-tea reprising his worst movie roles

Oh no...
I wouldn't like that at all. I REPENT!
