3C for me - semi-skimmed milk, no sugar. I can't stand strong tea - it makes me thirsty and gagging for a glass of water. Coffee is a different matter - has to be really strong!

I prefer Earl Grey.

But I hate tea made with water that is no longer boiling. This habit of bringing you tea in cafe, by putting some hot water in a mug and putting the tea bag on the side is dreadful....am American influence I suspect.

I have been asked a few times in America if I wanted cream or lemon....cream ? ....in tea ?

Dear God !

I should have added this to my previous post - the tea has to be made from loose tea-leaves rather than those abominations called teabags.

once had a colleague who just wafted the t-bag over the mug. ugh!

Wet, just sufficient sweetener.

Not overly fussed but C1 looks ok. Too milky and it becomes a mug of watery milk, not tea. Strong is good, but there is a risk of stewing. Ought to be more than a tincture of milk.

lol Mikey.. in California I took a bag of Tetleys in to the local diner....had taken some over for my cousin... they now import it !

[ummmm]

I only drink tea when I run out of coffee and for some reason I crave it when I feel ill.

I like it strong, milky and sweet.

I don't like hot drinks you have to sip.

[NoMercy]

2D with one sweetener.

Minty...the trouble with Americans and tea is that they just don't have our background, learning at our Mum's knee...using a tea pot, warming the pot, etc, etc.

One of my friends actually puts Coffeemate in his Tea !

That reminds me of tea with condensed milk at sea in the Navy during the 60s, Mikey, yuck!

[ummmm]

I like condensed milk in coffee. And long life milk..

[mccfluff]

"The Pantone chart, which had been shared almost 200 times at the time of writing, started with A1 - a black tea with no milk - and progressed to D4, which was essentially just a cup of milk."

I think they should have organised the lighting better. Some of those in column A look darker that the one in column D in the row above.
