TEA ETIQUETTE - FANCY A CUPPA?

In Great Britain tea is seen as a universal panacea for all ills, and the British love nothing better than 'putting their feet up' and enjoying a 'cuppa'.
The quiet gentility of the English tea ceremony is seen as a reflection of the reserved national character.

I was just wondering...

How do you like your tea? With or without milk and sugar? Loose leaf tea or teabags? Milk first then the teabag and hot water? In a teacup or large mug?

Your thoughts...

Large mug, two sugar, teabag. I'm quite peculiar with my tastes however, as I only like English Blend, Dutch Blend (which has a hint of orange) and Ceylon.

I don't drink tea often enough, I should have at least one a day.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I like my tea when it looks, tastes and works exactly like coffee.

I like mint tea with honey.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

I should drink it more, but when I do, it's either a small amount of sugar or honey, after the hot water has been poured on the teabag and the bag removed. I usually have a turkey and ham sandwich with it, I don't like to just drink it by itself. I also prefer a large mug.

Exactly like this.
I use one PG Tips pyramid teabag per large mug of tea, leave it in there for 5 to 10 minutes. Although I do take sugar with that, which I don't do with my coffee.

I also have problems with people who fail to make the proper distinction between actual 'tea' and 'infusions'. I don't much like tea with added flavoring but more than that I can't stand infusions.
I'm so meta, even this acronym...
