Default 3in1 Tea

I am interested in finding out more about 3-in-1 tea (tea with milk and
sugar as a combination). I have found some suppliers for this type of
tea in Asia but wonder where else I might get it from?
I would also like to know if this is a popular tea, what form it comes
in and what type of tea might be used and why I can't find many
suppliers?

Look for strong black tea from Assam or Sri Lanka processed using the CTC
(crush tear curl) method. Try local Indian grocery store.

I think he is referring to a product that is a mixture of evaporated tea
with milk powder and sugar added. You add it to boiling water and get a
(rather nasty) cup of English-style tea. It is used on airlines.

I can't say how much I think this is a bad idea.

Yuchhh!! Bad idea is right!

I'd drink office coffee to avoid this.
