Royals, particularly in the British tradition, typically drink tea with a specific etiquette and style.
According to a former royal butler, the Queen (and presumably other royals) favored a particular method:
- Loose Leaf Tea: They use loose leaf tea, not tea bags.
- Strainer: After brewing, the tea is poured through a strainer into a fine bone china cup.
- Milk After: Milk is added after the tea has been poured.
This method reflects a preference for tradition and attention to detail. While variations likely exist within different royal families and individual preferences, this is the generally accepted practice for traditional royal tea drinking.
