Like you I have only milk. Some teas are not meant to be drunk with milk, eg Red Bush (Rooiebos in Dutch). No milk = no good in my book.
English breakfast tea from Twinings is best I can find at the moment in a regular supermarket for a reasonable price. I have not ventured into the really expensive ones yet however. Tried Assam, dahjeeling, green, all that stuff, much like you - and, like you, unimpressed. The supermarkets do have a more expensive selections, but may need that pot first.
I have one fresh coffee in the morning with sugar and milk.
Any tips welcome. A good tea for me has got body and taste (not too sharp) without being strong. I am just a normal bloke, not a posho.
