Default The English way of drinking tea?

Hello to all,

Reading some books by Kazuo Ishiguro lately, I noticed a great "fuss"
about the tea and it's way to be served. I don't understand that at
all. As I understand, the "orthodox" English way is to serve (and
take, of course) tea always with milk. Well, esp. in the afternoon I
presume there is mostly a decent Earl Grey or Darjeeling been drunk.
Preferring a nice blend of FTGFOP1 Darjeeling First Flush (and an Earl
Grey from time to time) by myself, I can't imagine drinking those with
milk! So, I hope someone here can enlighten me about the English way
of drinking tea ;-).


Regards,
Dieter



P.S.: Does anybody know something about Ishiguro's tea habits?
