I had a question for milky tea drinkers. I'm told that you should properly pour the milk into your cup first, anyone know why?

There was actually a study just done, where they said that for some reason steeping the tea bag with the milk in the water resulted in better-tasting tea. So now I put the milk in right after I put the water in (if I'm drinking tea with a bag).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But I also drink hippie fruit "tea" which doesn't actually have tea of any kind (black, green, white) and is more accurately categorized as an "herbal infusion" or some shit. But no one knows what an herbal infusion is, so I always just say "hippie fruit tea."
It's a tisane, isn't it?

I brew teas and coffees as if I want to etch something with them. Apparently, I embrace the bitter. Shocker!

In Quebec for sure. I don't think I've ever (until now) heard the word used in the States.

I think I only know that from books, honestly.

It's one of those words I don't know how to pronounce because I've only read it, not heard it.

Because books.
They're always having tisanes in Regency romances!

In my experience Canadian tea bags can definitely make a decent second cup but American ones cannot.
Canadian tea bags have to survive sitting in a tea pot all day in a simmering tea pot when a Newfoundlander gets their hand on them.
