        Wrong. The answer is never. Tea is good on its own.

          Interestingly, I think the origin of this debate is probably the low quality crockery used by poorer people in yesteryear. The rich would flex their high quality bone china by pouring hot tea into it directly, whereas poor folk would add cold milk first to reduce the thermal shock which might otherwise crack cheaper cups.

            For real? That’s terrible. If the porcelain can take it, bag and hot water first is best. Otherwise the milk clogs the bag and you get milk water :P
