Can you differentiate the taste of various milk if you consume it directly rather than adding to the tea? In my experience the taste of milk varies and I can easily tell them apart. I've forgotten the brand of milk I've "banned" due to the weird or poor taste. The 1L milk packed in boxes, among them are Fernleaf, Goodday and Marigold, I stopped buying after trying them many years ago, likely more than 15 years ago. Nowadays I only buy 3 brands which are Farm Fresh fresh milk (chilled in the fridge with expiry 2 to 3 weeks), Dutch Lady Full Cream milk 1L and Lotus full cream milk. These milk taste best to me without any weird taste. Farm Fresh milk tastes most pure and is best consumed directly, followed by Dutch Lady which is the best milk to be added to beverages such as coffee, tea or Milo (there is some flavouring added I guess), and lastly Lotus full cream milk which is the cheapest milk without any weird taste.

agreed, maybe HL is a low lactose milk hence the very different taste 

Just bought and tried farm fresh 2l fresh milk. Farm fresh milk is bit more diluted compared to lotus uht milk. While I can taste sort of slightly more milky flavor but my mom say not much difference. Will try and make latte tmr for more comparison. Btw saw henry jones as well but 1l quite expensive so maybe next time.
