I believe it should be milk in last as the consistency of the milk can prevents the teabag from releasing the tea to the max!! I changed my

If teabag is the mug then milk in last.

If using a teapot, then milk goes in the mug first.

For coffee, milk always goes in first.

Pouring boiling water directly on to instant coffee can burn it and affect the taste. Pouring cold milk in to boiling water can also scald the milk too

The theory around it is that if you are posh, or upper class in the day, milk in first so as not to crack the fine china whereas servants put milk in last as their cups etc were cheaper.

However, I prefer tea leaves and teapot.

Milk in last because milk is the common denominator and doesn't vary in strength, flavour or consistency — unless it's Goats Milk etc — whereas I, personally, variate between different types of tea with different strengths and colour (Darjeeling, Assam, Lapdog SueSnog, etc), which would then necessitate how much milk is added to it.

Tea bags in the mug, boiling water leaves for around 2.5 mins to brew, then milk. And I prefer the tea bag left in. Proper mechanics brew.

Coffee milk in first, water not not boiling. Enjoy your drink.

If its for a cup of tea for someone then milk in last. For coffee I'd go either milk first or last. I vaguely remember reading that boiling water burns the coffee and affects the taste. Somewhere around 82C being optimum. But I don't think I can ever taste the difference to be honest.

Many reasons why milk last is the correct answer.

Most importantly the milk fats coating the tea leaves and screwing with the flavour extraction process means that that brew IS FUCKING RUINED
