Milk in the cup BEFORE the tea. You don't want to damage your best bone china by pouring hot liquid straight onto the porcelain.
And don't make such a bloody racket when stirring by banging the teaspoon around the inside of the cup. With a bit of practice you can stir perfectly well without touching the sides, plus you won't damage the up (see above)

If bag in mug method always put the milk in before the water. Fact.

I sometimes go to a teashop where they serve over 100 different varieties of tea from all over the world
I love tea & one of the best cups I ever had was when fishing in Ireland. Water straight out the lough poured into a huge kettle containing a handful of teabags & the whole being brought to boil over a log fire & shared out between about 15 of us. Nectar of the Gods!
I had a great cup of tea once in a motorway service station. It was so good I ordered a similar teapot on the internet
This was no ordinary teapot though. It had a kind of mesh strainer insert built into it so you could add exactly the amount of tea leaves to your taste & leave the insert in or remove it if preferred. A brilliant design & as easy to use as teabags
I'm surprised you don't see many about

Tea in a mug is surely OK when times of suppage differ..
Advice: buy Yorkshire Tea. You can get 3 mugs out of one bag. Top brew, best you can buy without going poncey.
Obligatory "Northern cunts" mention, before someone else.

Teapot, loose leaves, preferably Assam tips.
A brew to build an empire on.

I need to drink tea out of a proper mug with a decent size handle.

13 years ago, after a 2 day blowout and a massive row with the mrs, I ended up doing a shit in the teapot before passing out.
Forgot all about it and only found out a week later when social services came round for a cuppa.
Miserable sods did not see the funny side to say the least but fuck me how I laughed.
Haven't seen my kids since but it was worth it.

Yorkshire Gold in a teapot when I've got the time, which is most days. Sometimes I'll have a Yellow Label in a mug, which just ain't the same.

coffee is for fat yanks and poncey floppy haired no sock wearing post euro 96ers - better know as latte wank jobs. another fact.
last decent cup of tea i got was in 2006 at 5am from the cafe opposite smithfield meat market. served in a plastic cup and cost about 75p including a full body massage.
