I really love tea with milk. Concerning Lipton, German scientists found out that this sort of tea can be harmful, from what I heard.
I like frothy Ocha, had it once at a tea ceremony at the Embassy of Japan in London in my class's honour; donned a kimono and everything for that one.
What ISN'T harmful would be a shorter list for goodness sakes. I don't even listen anymore. Everything has been bad and going to kill at one time or another. It's ridiculous and they can't seem to get their stories straight. You know why? Because they (whoever THEY are) don't really know what the hell they are talking about!
I love brewing a mix of teas - all in bags - a bag or two of Tetley, then Celestials: Lemon Zinger, Tangerine Orange, Peppermint, Black Cherry Berry - in the summer I add some sprigs of mint. I make about a quart at a time. Extremely refreshing.
Tea is my main beverage. This is because it tastes good and it is the most inexpensive thing you can drink next to water. I am no connoisseur and any no-name generic caffeine tea works for me. I like the bags without the string on them. I use 8 bags to make 64 fl oz's of fresh brewed tea. To this I add 8 spoonfuls of sugar for a mild sweet taste. I'll usually have a cup warm with milk, and chill the rest in the fridge for iced tea. One jug like this lasts me all day. My favorite tea is Thai Iced Tea at Thai restaurants.
I enjoy the Twinnings English and Irish Breakfast teas and the Canadian Red Rose is good too. Prefer my tea hot, strong, skim milk and unsweetened. As far as herbal teas goes I am not impressed with most of them. However I did come across Rooibos tea which is quite amazing. It works with or without milk and hot or cold. Since it is entirely caffeine free you can drink it late at night and it won't keep you awake, It has a slightly sweet taste all by itself so it doesn't need any sweeteners. Apparently it is safe enough for even babies to drink according to one article I read about it. Hard to find in stores but readily available and cheap online.
I don't think many - or any - herbal teas would taste good with milk. Twinnings is good, but I'm cheap, I stock up on Celestials when there's a sale.
I agree which is why I was so surprised to discover that Rooibos does taste good with or without milk.
This is what I had in the Embassy of Japan in the UK (Just by Green Park) in 2004. I think they do these (by the looks of it) in Japanese Embassies around the world..
The tea ceremony is called Chado and the green tea is called Matcha which is just a frothy Ocha which means green tea. I like it though, it's good tea.
This is what the Embassy of Japan in the UK treated us to (somewhere else in the world). It's like 'a thing', like a cultural thing, don't knock it - It's really cool. I also found better yet
I just found it in my local Japanese supermarket (this one I know).. and (I'm like) "Joy..." https://www.japancentre.com/en/search?utf8=✓&term=matcha It's on Shaftesbury Ave...
I guess it's worth pointing out now that for years; I was bitter about it. "I came close to madness trying to find it here in the UK, but they just can't get the texture right!"
I usually just have regular tea if I have tea at all. I also add milk to it, but just a little. The only tea I don't add milk to is Chinese tea, but I add a lot of sugar.
Matacha is my favourite of all the green teas. I like Matcha, then Ocha. Most people in England (where I am/as seen from my own observations) think of Ocha as green tea and know not of Matcha.
