If I’m in a cafe or something, or feeling posh, I have it with milk, and generally go for C2 onwards. I generally leave the teabag in for as long as possible, including not removing it at all - but if I’m having any milk at all, I’ll have quite a bit of it.

If I’m at home/work or otherwise in control of the kettle, I drink it black and leave the teabag in throughout the whole drink.

Controversially, at home on an evening, though I leave the teabag in, I often top up the water a few times, therefore drinking progressively weaker tea as it gets later. The last cup of tea before bed is basically just hot water that remembers meeting a leafy flavour once.

Controversial, but consistent, opinion. At least you know exactly what you like.

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)

That really depends in my opinion. For my taste a strong Assam needs a nice dash of fresh cream and a good amount of sugar, so I would say C2. A fine Darjeeling on the other hand should have no milk/D4, while a cheaper Darjeeling should have a small amount of milk as in D1-2. Earl Grey should always be pure, just with or without sugar, to not drown out the Bergamot aroma, so a clear D4. However, when not using loose tea but tea bags it all doesn’t matter, since the main flavor component will be the paper bag anyway.

Sanguine ,

Cheap tea bags have a weird scent, but anything decent quality isn’t going to taste like paper.

Nacktmull ,

Sorry for being snobbish there. I just prefer loose leaf personally, each to their own!

Green tea, but D3 or D4.

Tweak ,

Green tea needs a bit of cold water in first, to make sure the hot isn’t too hot. Proper green tea blends taste like cat’s piss when you over-heat them.

Like in Japanese tea ceremonies, they have to grind the green tea leaves slowly, so as not to overheat them.

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.

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

B2, but I'm a filthy coffee drinking American what do I know.

C1/C2. I like mine a tad bit dark.

D2 or 3, if I’m taking cream/milk, which I do for most tea.

But there’s teas I prefer lemon in, like English breakfast teas, so they’re full dark.

But I’m from the left side of the pond, so I dunno if I count :)

Afghaniscran , to casualuk in It's time we had this conversation.

B3 to C2 is my preference. C3 or darker and I’m asking if the cows are on strike. B2 and lighter I’ll ask if you just showed the teabag to the cup instead of putting it in.

D3/D4 And a small splash of milk to round it off. At most a tablespoon (15ml) to a pint.

Tweak ,

“Just the tiiiiiniest splash of milk, please” /gets given builder’s tea

Tea is the opposite of how I like my toast: the darker, the better.

alcoholicorn , to casualuk in It's time we had this conversation.

D3, no milk.

zammy95 , to casualuk in It's time we had this conversation.

Is the implication here “how much milk do you add?” Confused about the colors if that’s not the answer. The option with no milk for me (but I also like white and green teas, which are nowhere near that dark color)
