Anyone drink tea with no milk or sugar?

I stopped drinking coffee a few days ago and replaced it with black tea. It's quite nice and clean tasting. Coffee always made my mouth feel kind of dirty.

Yes, I always have done.
My mom used to try and get me drinking tea with milk when I was young and always hated it, but in my late teens I started drinking green tea and from there tried black tea with no milk and quite liked it that way.
Everyone thinks it's weird, in this country at least, but it's seen as much more normal around Europe.

You'd better be from the midlands, lad.

Without milk, tea is either intolerably bitter or piss-weak. Milk is an integral element in the Proper British Cuppa, the warming and nourishing elixir of empire.

Maybe I like the misery bitterness.

Coffee has a distinct aftertaste that just sticks with you for hours and hours at the back of your throat. Were I a more experienced man I might be able to say it actually tastes like ass, but for now I can only assume it tastes like ass. It certainly has that sort of musty, pervasive character to it that you get from sweaty-arse dirty pants.

You're right in that black tea doesn't have that. It's still very bitter but I've had it that way once or twice when I've been out of milk - much preferable to coffee but I still prefer unsweetened, strong tea with a dash of milk.

I'm the type of person who leaves the bag to stew for 20 minutes on occasion - black tea as such is awful. Probably quite nice weak, though. I do find it sticks to the teath and breath a whole lot more than with milk, though.

For reference, ass tastes like when you put your tongue on the top of a 9v battery.

If that's true why don't we insert battery-operated gadgets rectally when they're out of juice?

Yeah, have had black tea for years. Don't really like sugar in hot drinks, and realised that the splash of milk most people put in really isn't that noticeable anyway.

It's funny that people always seem a little surprised when I say no milk, no sugar. "You sure?" yeah of course I'm fucking sure.

Depends. An Earl Grey I drink black, a more bland tea like Barry's or PG Tips needs something a little extra to help it along like a splash of milk. Increasingly, though, I found a pinch of "lemon salt" (instant lemon juice) to be a perfect addition to all black teas. The slight acidity marries well with the bitter notes and amplifies the clean flavour.
