I didn't include it but we did talk about the milk thing and she acknowledged there are different schools of thought on this. (Though I can't say I've ever seen a porcelain cup crack from hot tea!) Thanks for commenting. Andy Hi Marianne

Erica did mention tea leaves not bags but that more about the freshness, she didn’t mention the dust issue (though not surprised).

I didn’t include it but we did talk about the milk thing and she acknowledged there are different schools of thought on this. (Though I can’t say I’ve ever seen a porcelain cup crack from hot tea!)

Thanks for commenting.

When I was in Sri Lanka and visited a tea estate I was told that teabags contain DUST, what is left over when they tea has been sorted. Did you also discuss first milk or first tea? At the same tea estate I was told that milk comes first so that the fine porcelein cup won' t crack when hot tea is poured in. Makes sense, I would say.
