There's 2 tea cultures in the UK. Upper class is straight, perhaps with a little lemon and honey, in quite delicate teas. Working class is strong tea with milk and sugar.
Milk was originally to stop factory tea from cracking cheap cups. It's now just a cultural thing, normal teas taste weird without milk.
TIL I'm upper class
Unless you can trace your ancestry back 5-10 generations, along with enough peerages and titles to matter, you are at best middle class. At least according to the old fashioned mindset.
As a fellow tea snob, I salute you. 👍
