Oh, I don't know - putting the milk in after the tea allows one to achieve exactly the right colouration. This matter has split opinions in England for centuries !

In Ireland when you pour your milk when making tea can determine your religion. If you pour your milk before adding tea you're a Prod. If you pour in milk after adding tea you are of the Papal persuasion.
"I like a nice cup of tea in the morning, For to start the day, you see! And round about eleven, Well my idea of heaven Is a nice cup of tea!
I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner, And a nice cup of tea with my tea, And when it's time for bed, There's a lot to be said For a nice cup of tea!
I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner, And a nice cup of tea with my tea, And when it's getting late, Almost anything can wait For a nice cup of tea!"
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

And an often overlooked prerequisite.....freshly drawn water rather than water that's been in the kettle for sometime. London water is very good for tea.

Apparently.
on a similar note, an Irish protestant friend was going out with a catholic Irish woman and she claimed she could tell if you were catholic or protestant based on where you stored your ketchup...catholics in the cupboard, prods in the fridge. She claimed it went back to the time when the protestants could afford fridges and catholics couldnt.
Another basic error made by tea makers, and by those using proper coffee, is the tendency to immediately pour scolding hot water from the kettle on to your tea leaves and fresh coffee beans.
This has the affect of 'burning' them and you should always take the kettle to the pot or, just wait a few seconds to let the water cool a tad.
Anyone not adopting this practice from hereon, will be shot!

Warming the cup prior to pouring makes a better brew too.
My nan used to do it but I can't be assed.

It warms my heart to see so many tea devotees instead of the usual coffee, coffee, all the time. Whenever I go to visit my inlaws oop north, I always take a large bottle of London tap water with me as the water there is too soft for successful tea.
