While this is true, it is quite rare and there's an easy way to ensure it doesn't happen. Also, there are times when you won't have a tea kettle on hand, for instance, in a dorm.

Personally, I prefer oolong or green tea with honey. I also love chai, but it's different from other teas.

Aah, Americans.  When will you learn every place requires a kettle?

I must admit that, when I want tea, I microwave a mug of water and stick the teabag in for five minutes.

Don't blame yourself. You're not really an earthling after all.

Ok, Terran.

Yes. Why, is it sacrilege?

If I don't have a kettle, I'll nuke the water, but then pour that into another cup that has the tea in it. ^_^

Well, in the UK, supplying any kind of eating facility and not including a kettle may well get you done for Inciting a Riot

As for me, Tetley teabag with milk and 2 sugars and I'm happy. but the bag comes out before the milk goes in, I hate people who pour milk over a teabag

[color=66ff00]Yes, they used to deport people for that.

Hence the lack of tea aficionados in Austrailia.

More or less. Green tea, at least the Japanese kind, is never drunk with sugar, honey, or milk. That is, without getting odd looks from your neighbors or patrons.

Although there is an exception in that there are sweet cold green tea flavored drinks.

I never liked the taste of green tea unsweetened. My dad would make me drink it when I was sick. Maybe I didn't like it cause it's in a bag. I have no idea where they would just sell the dried leaves here or what unbagged tea even tastes like. I'll have to check out the Asian market next time I'm there. No one knows how to really serve tea here. People are much bigger coffee aficiondos, it probably stems back to colonial times, what with the Boston Tea Party and all. ^_^
