This is right but wrong way around. The fine china could take the hot water so it was "posh" to pour water first. The "lower" classes used clay cups etc so put milk in first to cool the brew 

 

Thanks for giving us the correct info! So sorry my "rememberer" got it backwards.

and now it doesn't matter as all cups can take the hot water! Does taste different though if milk is in first it's a but creamier as the hot water emulsifies the milk so it's water then milk, if I have it, for me :)

And here I go getting it backwards again! 😊

 

I prefer milk first since adding the hot beverage sort of "stirs" the mixture for me. That way, lazy me does not have to take time to pick up the spoon and mix the two. I can proceed faster to the first sip and my greatly anticipated "Ahhh that's good!" moment. ☕

and perfect for you each to their own!

One of the nicest teas I've been to was with my DM in St George, Bermuda at the Lili Bermuda Perfumery gardens.  It was so pretty; we had traditional afternoon tea but iced instead of hot(it was 80+ degrees!).  The other was many years ago at the Pierre Hotel in NYC, very posh setting, beautiful tea service.  The Chateu Frontenac is amazing, no tea there but their bar and cocktails are lovely.

Thanks...hope still there in Bermuda..will check it out!

 

Ps  wonders of the internet..found it..here's the link.

You'll be talking about teacakes next! Do we have any Scots on the board for that argument? 

 

 

No argument from me the only true teacakes are Tunnocks!!

I should've given them a shout out, I found them here on the Cruise Critic Bermuda board. 😣  Anyway, if you decide to go, I hope you have a wonderful time.

This won't get anyone high, it's hemp and CBD, which is the benefits of cannibis without the getting high part.  If one wanted to have "high" tea, they just need to properly prepare their (legally obtained according to their jurisdiction, of course!) cannibis, mix the proper amount with their favorite brand of tea, and brew it like normal tea.
