I like C2 as well! But it depends on the tea for me. Some teas are really nice with milk and a bit of sugar but there are defintely teas where subtlety is lost with the milk. So either c2 or d4 depending on the tea

C1 using whole milk, which is significant if you are only using colour as a measure of tea preference.

I think milk type could be the 3rd dimension to this chart, but that is more likely to be is brew time.

D4 realised a while back I don’t really like the taste of milk, so went darker and darker until now I just drink black tea. Honestly I’m more of a coffee chap (snob)

D4, but with a shitload of sugar.

…And ice, 'cause I’m a Southerner, not a Brit. 🤪

Before the diabetes diagnosis I used to take three sugars in my tea.

Two years later and I’m not sure I could stomach tea with sugar in it.

grue , 6 months ago

I say “shitload of sugar” to be funny, but in reality I make my sweet iced tea with a combination of sugar and stevia, and I try to keep the ratio as low as possible. (Can’t go all stevia 'cause then you get a weird aftertaste.)

@Oneeightnine @grue
As a student I took three sugars. Then I moved into a house with 4 others none of whom took sugar. For everyone's convenience I went cold turkey and never looked back. Now I'd spit out tea with a quarter of a spoonful of sugar.

American here who grew up on southern sweet tea. As an adult I cut the sugar from all tea and never looked back. Although I will occasionally put a little nip of B&B in there.

It’s not a linear scale from light to dark. There are three constituents: tea, milk and water. A weak cup of tea with a little milk looks different from a strong cup with a decent amount of milk. This should be a ternary plot.

Yeah it’s not clear what the axes are in this picture. Looks more like a single scale split in 4

HonoraryMancunian , 6 months ago

Thank you. For years me and my siblings have always said it’s possible to have a strong and milky tea.

I like my tea to be iced coffee

D4 assuming there’s no milk in it. My mother likes A2, maybe 3. It’s a waste of a tea bag.

Your mother should be arrested.

C1 fight me (C2 is also acceptable)

apotheotic , 6 months ago to casualuk in It's time we had this conversation.

Anything above row C is sinful lmao

allywilson , 6 months ago to casualuk in It's time we had this conversation.

C3, no debate in my mind. I can accept C1 through to D2 though.

florge , 6 months ago

This is the correct answer.

The darkness I like isn’t even on there.

You heathen!

Somewhere on the c range. I'm not too picky.
