I'm usually a C2 sort of guy, but through bad luck and (my own) poor performance, I've begun my Sunday morning with a B1. Whilst a bad start to the day, I'm determined not to let it ruin what could be a good Sunday.

Where do you come in on the tea debate?

D row all the way. There should only be a dollop/splash of milk, just enough to cancel out the bitterness. However, if the blend is good enough I'll just have it black (eg Twinings Earl Grey works black, other Earl Greys don't).

C4 or D1. Strong though, want to see that spoon stand up.

That'd be C4 then

A=>D is decreasing milk amount, and 1=>4 is increasing strength, so D1 would essentially be water, A1 would essentially be milk and the B3/B4/C3/C4 would be the square of "not pulling a face when you take the first sip" (although I lie somewhere between B4 & C3 so I may be biased)

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 :)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

D3, no milk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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

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

American here. You savages conquered half the world and can’t even enjoy black coffee?
