Dear fellow tea drinkers,

I just saw this template for the first time, and I must say, I'm apalled by the high number of wikipedians using it. No, it's not that I would put milk into black tea, but rather, I wouldn't use a teabag. Preparing tea from teabag (rather than from proper broken or whole leaves which are allowed to unfold freely in the space of a proper round teapot) and then daring to call this stuff "tea" obviously disqualifies from making any judgement about the proper way of having tea.

So for the record: Good tea, made from quality leaves in a proper way, does not need milk, as it would only mask the flavour. However, in the (unfortunatly all too common) case that I get a "tea" brewn from a teabag in café, I reserve the right too add milk for the explicit purpose of masking the bad taste.
