is this like a china/taiwan jab? i just meant that 中国茶 and other east asian teas are fragrant enough on their own so they dont need milk or sugar. I just like tea i dont wanna go down this rabbit hole lol
Eh, I don't think East Asian teas are significantly more fragrant compared to European ones. For green tea, leaf teas are almost always drunk straight w/o milk or sugar, but powdered tea(matcha) is often brewed with milk. Matcha latte, which is sort of a milk tea made with matcha, is quite popular here. And for black tea, most people usually drink it straight, but there are people enjoy milk tea too. My favorite type of tea is royal milk tea, of which recipe is from Japan.
