The Chinese and Japanese do not drink "strong tea". The British drink it about
like espresso coffee (grin). You have to have hair on your chest to drink it
without something to dilute it. I usually drink hot tea Chinese style, but
occasionally like a cup of English style tea (think two bags steeped for 10
minutes) with milk and sugar for breakfast. Goes nicely with English toasting
bread toast, or scones.

What ;-)
Proper tea is always drunk without sugar or milk, look at the Chinese
and Japanese! It was up to the British to ruin worldwide reputation of
tea with their strange custom of milk and sugar...

P.S.: although most probably tea with milk got into England by way
of India. I certainly do like Dhati and similar spiced tea
concotions.
