The reason they didn't try different milk types was because they were trying to find out what non-ingredient variables influenced the flavour and made it weaker or stronger, so changing the milk is like changing the tea leaves itself.

[@rabbidcreature9681]

Or in other words. The type of milk was/is a personal preference, Same could be said about the amount of sugar or brand or type of tea. The reason why the amount of milk was a factor was probably to fine an exact amount or range rather than a vague "Splash" of milk.

[@krystaloftheshores]

That’s a very good point.

[@viviengemai9796]

Unless you love yourself some goat milk, plant extracts like soy juice or almond juice are NOT milk and in the EU it is outlawed to call them milk. Milk comes from the mammary glands of a mammal. Further the traditional cup of tea and milk in Britain is cow's milk. The argument about full milk, semi-skimmed (2-3.5%) or skimmed (1-2%) is another question.

[@dovahnok0957]

I believe the milk on the bottom or top making a difference is that milk is denser than tea, so when poured on the bottom you have to stir it up into the tea. Whereas when you pour it on top, it naturally seeps throughout the tea making it a much more consistent stir.

[@dovahnok0957]

Addition: the teapot cooling faster is because there is more teapot touching the tea than mug/cup touching the tea. Simply by having more surface area, the tea in the teapot cooled faster

[@HenshinFanatic]

Further addendum: I also speculate that there's more of a temperature "shock" when hot liquid is poured over cold milk causing accelerated curdling (that sour taste mentioned in the vid) that simply doesn't occur the other way 'round.

[@lockse098]

I believe the reason Matpat didn't research different kinds of milk is that theoreticaly things like almond "milk" aren't actually considered milk (according to the FDA). British tea (in it's original way as mentioned in the video) demands milk and therefore replacement products are probably out of the race.

[@OmegaCKL]

here’s my guess on why the teapot was cooler than the cup: mat poured hot water into a cold teapot, which cooled the water slightly, then once brewed, was poured into a cold cup, dropping the temperature further than what 3 minutes in an open top cup would cool it, despite the teapot losing less heat from the brew time. by simply adding the hot water to a cold cup, the water temperature only drops once, as the tea then brews in the warmed cup and is drunk out of it. if mat had boiled the water directly inside of the teapot, i would imagine the difference would be much smaller, or possibly hotter than the cup.

[@GamingGardevoir]

Ding ding ding! Exactly 💯

[@boat02]

As someone who watches a lot of coffee related vids, mostly James Hoffmann's, yes. Pre-heating the teapot helps, but the simple act of decanting, or pouring a hot liquid from one vessel to another, will result in losing that heat.

[@Finvaara]

You missed the most egregious reason for the difference. The teapot has a lot higher capacity than the mug, and only got the same amount of water as the mug. You need to fill them to the same capacity to judge their comparative heat retention.

[@nimhisser55]

as boat said decanting causes a change of temperature because the liquid has to pass through the air in order to reach the new vessel then it has to collect in the new vessel during which it is exposed to the atmosphere around it. so when pouring cool liquids in a warm environment it will get warmer faster then if it was left in one container and hot liquids will cool faster .

[@Phoenix2312]

@OmegaCKL well said, MatPat clearly did not know that we Brits used TEA COSIES to keep a pot Warm between brewing's for that reasons - Though the Cosy is a relic of History these days... Also, the tea being cooler from a Teapot is not essentially a bad thing - We have to consider how and when Teapots were most often used... When you had Guests! Now, Me as an Individual love my Tea to be as HOT AS LAVA!!! But If I have Guests, Then I would break out the Teapot - As not everyone is going to want to burn their mouths or make a McDonalds LolSuit... It was for Mass Consumption and so that All Guests could enjoy a nice Warm cup of Tea at a reasonable temperature ... And was also a god way of stopping people over staying their welcome! Much as I am going to edit my comment I left for Patters... Tea Drinking and Brewing is a very Individual Thing - Is there a way to make the objectively Perfect "Cup of Tea" - ABSOLUTLY! But do we all follow that rule? NO! We are individuals after all!

[@salasy]

Until a few years ago I actually never even knew that people actually put milk in their tea Everywhere in my country the normal way to drink black tea is with just a little bit of sugar and/or a little bit of lemon and it is supposed to have at least a bit of that bitter aftertaste (but not that much) tea with milk just feels like watered down milk with a weird aftertaste

[@FinnManusia]

Not all country drink raw milk. Some prefer sugar instead of milk. My country use sugar but if you want milk tea, mostly use concentrated milk which is sweet.

If he had tested different types of milk, then he should've tested different types of tea. I think they didn't mainly cause people are going to drink the tea they like with the milk they prefer (if any at all), and the points proven in this test can be applied more or less regardless of tea or milk preference, so there was no real point of trying those.

[@theyellowferret5125]

And the moral of this video is: Never mess with a British man's tea.

[@GamingGardevoir]

Reason why the teapot was cooler: pouring the hot water in a cold pot, it cools off a bit as it warms the pot while steeping. Then when you pour the tea into a cold cup, it cools down further as it warms the cup!

[@Becca11389]

im so glad that they mentioned the difference between the size of the leaves and the brewing time. 3-5 minutes is perfect if you're using actual leaves but the nearly powdered stuff they have in the bags absolutely doesn't need to be in there that long unless you are gonna sweeten it big time

[@Becca11389]

as far as vessels go just don't brew it in plastic. like any kind of ceramic or glass is fine, metal is fine, no plastic. and that includes "paper" cups because those are usually lined with plastic to keep it water-proof, so it still tastes like plastic. you can transfer it in to one of those cups AFTER it's been brewed and has cooled a bit, but don't brew it in them.

I suspect it’s because a tea pot is ment to hold more water than a cup, so when they put the same amount of water in both you simply didn’t get the benefit of the closed space of the tea cup. Rather the water ended up with a very large surface area to lose heat instead. That’s just a thought though. I usually fill up my tea pot entirely when making tea in it and it always stays hotter than a cup does.

[@maximaldinotrap]

@MorePatterrz, The reason you never have a good tea from Starbucks is because all of their drinks are already sub par. That said, cardboard cups seem to be more appropriate for coffee or hot chocolate.

Pretty sure the way they put milk and top and bottom was different is because they didn't use a spoon to mix it all together. Hence when drinking with milk on top you will take more of milk on top rather than tea.

The teapot might of cooled faster due to the fact that hot air escaping could only escape through the small holes in the contained pot. I.e., the hot air and high pressure jetting out is more faster and hotter meaning more heat loss.

[@aSh-pi1in]

4:11 adding a lot of sugar isn't a problem, but you need your tea to be heavier, because the heavier the tea, the more flavor and bitterness it will have, also microwave is not a way to make tea, however, making tea on wood Fire is the best way to make tea imo, as for my favorite tea, its karak tea

[@dragonicdoom3772]

If I had to guess, the reason for the teapot cooling faster is its shape. The teapot is larger and more spherical than the mug, meaning that more tea is exposed to the surface of the pot and therefore more surface area is available for heat to escape through the pot.

[@bobingabout]

6:32 The reason you put milk in your cup BEFORE pouring Tea into it, is because cheaper china cups could crack from the heat of the hot tea, so you put the milk in first to reduce the heat shock from the tea. And as you point out first, this is fine because you've brewed the tea in the teapot first, but if you were brewing it straight into a modern day mug, you'd want to put the milk in last. I'd also suggest that if you add sugar, you should add it before the milk, because it dissolves more easily. Adding it after the milk is also valid, but you shouldn't add it before the teabag, because it hinters the tea dispersion.

[@23gameoverlord]

I think MattPat and the gang are using basic ingredients for their experiment because they probably considered that this would be a aon-tea drinker (like me) first step in giving tea a try. Also the specific milk type and how much + tea leaves is down to personal preference.

So first off, I'm French Canadian and my grandfather, rest in peace, made what i like to call, due to how it was described to me by my poor mother, "warcrime tea". So he woke up at 5 am roughly measured enough water for several cups in a thick glass kettle, tossed it on the hob and put in 3-4 bags of tea (Over here in my neck of the great white north, the popular brand at the time was Red Rose tea, an Orange Pekoe, for those curious. the brand is still going strong and i do have a soft spot for it). after drinking a couple of cups, he'd put the kettle off the direct heat and left it there to warm throughout the day. later around dinner he'd get home, add more water and a bag or two, let it heat up and get another cup or two. repeat until after supper when he's done work and reading the newspaper with a cup of tea before ending the night. Now, you might be guessing at the sheer warcrimes going on, because my poor mum, bless her heart, was the one who decided when her father had had enough and cleaned out that kettle. The kettle that, by the end of the day had been steeping in some form from 5am to 8pm, constantly, with 7-9 tea bags freely floating, some having been there since the start of the day. Mum described as it the darkest, foulest and most vile leaf broth, strong enough to put hair on your chest. And as someone who drinks their tea with no milk or sugar and prefers a longer steep, i might have inherited my grandfather's distinct taste for stronger teas (though even i fear to thread the roads my grandfather made, for that way looks like the path to madness).

The first and strongest heat transferring occurs not with air but with the tea pot itself... the teapot is cold and the mug is too... but the amount of cold material in the tea pot is bigger... therefore when having the same amount of water as it happened in the test... the same one cup of water was robbed of a full tea pot's worth of heat... Had the volume of water been the full tea pot then the teapot would have been hotter... does not scale up exactly but when you double the size of a cube you get 8 times the volume whereas the area is just incres by a factor of 4... that is because volume has 3 factores multiplied while area only has 2 in very simplistic terms... so more area to spread the heat of the tea pot for the same volume... the colder the tea will be

Long before I even tried to figure out how to make a solitary cup of tea, I learned to make "sun tea", steeping a great big glass jar or jug in the summer sun for a couple hours, toss those old plain teabags, mix in sugar & refrigerate, similar to 'cool-ade'. [Alternatively yet similarly, especially in winter, we might just brew a high-strength tea concentrate in a saucepan, mix in sugar, & chill.] To this day, tea with milk seems weird, but so does coffee WITHOUT milk or creamer!

The aversion to microwaving water is posh rubbish. You can get a more precise temp in a kettle and that may be nice, but microwaved water does fine. There's scientifically nothing different taste-wise unless your vessel leeches taste. I am a fan of slow-pouring through the bag

My favorite tea has to be sweet tea but bubble milk tea is a close 2nd. Though, I don't eat every brands tapioca pearls as some have a strange texture to them

[@Belianaria8213]

26:35 Nope, we also got small mugs and cups

[@anonyorb4197]

I do the tea in a coffee maker. Put tea bag in coffee filter and do it that way, no milkno sugar, no lemon, only black tea

Teapot, the heat soaks into the ceramic teapot and stays there when you pour, helping keep the tea that hasn't been poured to stay warm. Then, the teacup will soak up more heat, cooling the tea further, as well as exposing a wide surface area to cool off via radiative cooling.

My family excluding me are tea lovers and my brothers girlfriend's family as well and let's say they all had choice words for my grandparents when we discovered they made tea in the microwave wave

Mans turns proper posh when explaining his tea

[@tntfreddan3138]

I have both milk and cream in my tea. A "splash" of milk and a "splash" of cream. I mostly drink fruit teas and I like it so that's why I do it.

As a person who isn't a big fan of tea, I pretty much only drink Brisk 1/2 tea 1/2 lemonade. My mom says it isn't real tea since it pretty much straight sugar.

[@kristhebrownie]

I bought an electric kettle recently and haven't felt the need to add any sugar or milk to the twinings I use (I can't find any yorkshire near me). Do they improve the flavor that much?

[@Daltonownzyoulol]

the teapot method was colder because the act of pouring the tea releases temperature

[@randyslegacy99]

There is only one common milk used in America, the others are nut water, or grain water.

[@bobandmrmecaleb5873]

I'm a coffee drinker, who makes coffee the same way as the TikTok lady, and even I know that no one else should be doing that.

[@krystaloftheshores]

I was really happy to hear Twinings approved by a Brit! My favorites are chai, mint, and chamomile. I like to add almond milk-based creamer to chai and add a dusting of ginger or pumpkin spice. I like my mint STROMG, because I prefer it iced with honey (raspberry honey is 👌🏻✨) which gives it an even cooler taste in my opinion. Chamomile is just great with honey in general. (I always use a kettle for my tea when I have access to one.) Feel free to judge my American tea tastes, Pat. :)

As a Asian, there are a few ways to make tea; and I agree with the final results here. That ticktok tea is just horrible.

[@timkarlsson1750]

For me I only pour the water over the leaves if it is Black, Oolong, or Roobios. Green and White i put in after the water. I have big cups, but they are mainly for Hot Cocoa.

[@bdcs9752]

I think that the south of usa is the best for american tea because we make iced sweet tea for the summer and spring and hot sweet tea for fall and winter(at least in texas) and trying to put your tea in the microwave is how you find buckshot in your grey matter

[@insomniacnerd5592]

Patterz should try some tea with 26 ml of milk now. Got to see what he thinks of it.

[@victoriabryer4710]

I have always made my tea this way. It just the right way to do it to get the best results. The only time I've put my tea in the Mic is to warm it up, no waste, even if it got a tinny taste. Also I'm not questioning why they put it the microwave but why does their microwave open like and oven?. Never in my 30 years have I seen one do that. It's weird.

[@theadventurousneko]

Patterz you should try an old fashioned percolator pot and tea leaves More expensive but it's definitely worth the cups of tea

[@alvenkaiser4549]

Patterz, I live in india in place called siliguri. It's just below Darjeeling. I have tasted every tea nearby me. Let me tell you, here, asamis tea is one of the mid tea leaves. Well, it's maybe my bias because I grw up drinking Darjeeling tea.

[@miss_witch]

5:36 yes pat! Yorkshire tea is based, my partner slanders me for drinking it but they like tetlys so they can't talk😂

[@brandibastian4193]

making tea properly HEAT WATER, add BAG & add sweetener no milk anywhere nearby it also is best served chilled as southern sweet iced tea
