cream in tea

Do you put cream in tea? I grew up on iced tea and didn't drink hot tea until after living inEngland in the late 80's for a few years growing up. Lots of folks putcream and sugar in their tea there, some didn't. I did at first, but thenlearned to like it straight (maybe because it was more like ice tea)- Itended to like Earl Grey and Lapsong Soochong. I mostly drink green and Oolong teas now but when I drink black tea Iusually don't put anything in it. Now days tea has alot of touted health benefits (amazingly enough, when Iwas younger it was said to be "bad for you"), which probably has kept my teadrinking at a steady pace (hey, if it's good for you and doesn't tastebad... why not? Some days I might drink 5-8 cups of tea). Apparrently,adding milk/cream to tea reduces the health benefits from what I've read.

I live in NY, and can get Assams and Keemuns pretty easily. They aren't usually found in supermarkets though- your local tea dealer will have them. You can also track down plenty of teasellers on the internet.

I have lived in Germany but now am back in the UK again. The English tea bags are better than the German ones, if the tea is taken with milk and when considering that each bag here contains 3g of tea, the German tea bags contain mainly 1.5g.
