Whole/semi
Coffee, not tea for me.

Oat milk just tastes like I'm consuming porridge flavoured things.
I don't see how this can be a bad thing.
Na everywhere has Earl Grey these days, especially after the last establishment not offering it sadly burned to the ground. So sad....Ah you must be one of the dozen people who go out of their way to have an Earl Grey tea! I always wondered where you lot hid
Really though Grey is available everywhere in my experience. It is the finest of fine teas especially that twist of bergamot, mmm.
Oh an by the way, it has to be Cravendale whole milk because they actually have decent bottles. The cheap supermarket bottles are rank for the large sizes. You end up spilling some milk every time when newly opened because the neck to lip ratio is all wrong. Someone over there needs a slap.
Fun fact! Patrick Stewart when they first started filming Next Gen was told to order a tea from the replicator so he chose Lapsang Souchong (also one of my favs) but the director/producers said that was too "out there" and nobody would relate to it so he went with Earl Grey instead which is more fitting.

It does a little but reducing my diary consumption is also important to me so am more than willing to take that hit.

I've never got along with Earl Grey as it just reminds me of potpourri for some reason!
I agree on the Cravendale. If only because it also lasts so long (not an issue here as we go through milk very fast)
Twinings Earl Grey is one of the strongest in the fragrance you liken to potpourri! I would avoid that if you do want to try Earl Grey again and instead buy the Booths brand from Morrisons (really good, really cheap too) or Mortiers/Newby Earl Grey off Amazon. These are my go-to orders when I need a restock now.
I only have one other tea left in the cupboard and that's Russian Caravan loose leaf (smokey like Lapsang) so once that's finished I'll have just Earls lol. This time last year I had about 19 different teas in there

It is actually national tea day today horahhhhh
Yes and their Jammy Toast version too. The Jammy one is actually alright but the biscuit one is a total con in that it tricks your brain into thinking biscuits have been dunked but your belly says otherwise. Stick with regular Yorkshire Gold and dunk biscuits properly you fools.

I think I can manage to outrage all the tea drinkers, whatever milk they use or whatever the order in which they add the ingredients...I usually use powdered whitener in my tea instead of milk
A position so heretical that it's not even in the voting options!
wtf
