Looking for an article

I am curious about which teas are taken with milk and which teas are taken with lemon. Are there any articles anyone know about?

I would say that ultimately it is a matter of taste. If you like milk with your green tea then have at, jus know that you're weird. 
That being said, here are some general guidelines.
1) Don't put both milk and lemon in your tea.
2) Lemon will go with just about any tea. While I think that it would overpower a nice sencha or a white tea, it won't hurt it.
3) Use Milk just with black teas. I'd avoid using it in a first flush darjeeling, and It will probably taste best in something malty like an assam or a dian hong, while lemon might taste better in a lighter black tea like ceylon.

If you drink tea mainly for the health benefits, pouring milk in it may not be a good idea. Apparently, the caseins in dairy products will bind the antioxidants and make them ineffective.
