Milk or Tea First?

Brew this one for three minutes rather than two, and have milk within reach. Take the first sip straight — brisk, gripping the sides of the mouth, the sweetness of the bark coming in behind. Then add a splash and taste it again. The grip has softened and the vanilla, last in the queue a moment ago, has come forward and got much bigger. Nothing was added but milk. Which raises the oldest argument in tea, and the one people still start at dinner tables: milk in first, or milk in last. Orwell had eleven rules for a cup of tea and was immovable on this one. He was also, on the evidence of what's in the pot, arguing for the wrong thing.
Today's cup: Melbourne Breakfast — Camellia sinensis, cinnamon, vanilla.
1 tsp, 200mL, 100°C, two minutes straight or three-plus with milk.
A tea and a musing every weekday morning.
Before It Begins is made by Impala & Peacock Artisan Teas, blended by hand in Melbourne. This week's cup is waiting for you at online.
