Ooo, ooo! This is where you speak in a thick accent about the hunt and prattle on about the Queen. Throw something in about the colonies and what the savages do... Yes, this will do quite nice.
Hong Kong has that. Coffee tea, too. I think coffee tea comes with milk, and for some reason I think it comes without sugar and so does the restaurant.In Japan you can buy milk tea. That's right. The milk and tea are already together! So you could move to Japan too if you wanted.
So did I.I would like to live in Japan just for the experience. An ex-gf of mine lived there for a year and taught English on an island somewhere. She loved it.
I love chai.
And it's the only tea I add milk to.
Delight, actually.
Maybe I'm the one who's un-American.
Or am I just wussy?

Umm...Japan is an island buddy.
According to etiquette when making tea from leaf tea in a pot you must put the tea in to the cup before adding the milk - it proves you are not using second quality tea [that had dusk and various detritus in it] and are therefore generally richer and posher than everyone else... We must have our standards!I've done it both ways. Is there a preferred order? Just now I did tea first, but a couple of days ago I put milk in the cup first while I was waiting for the tea to be ready
For the record, a milky tea with two or more sugars is known as a "builders' tea", as in, when you've got people working on your house, building an extension, installing a new bathroom, fixing the roof, etc, and you offer them a cuppa, that's most likely what they'll ask for. I don't know why.
Just to let you know, you aren't alone on the adding milk to tea in California. My best friend loves to add milk. Though interestingly enough she will be moving to the UK very soon... But, even without that I can assure you that you aren't alone as I'm a barista at Starbucks and there are several people that order Tea Mistos.
