It isn't tar. It's the tannin leaching from the tea leaves into the milk. thats why pommies have brown stomachs, from drinking so much tea.

It's the tannin in the tea. Tea is sometimes used as a natural colorant as are beets, pomegranates, carrots, etc.

because tea leaves contains tar. its a "blackening" agent. thats why your teeth can be blackened even if you dont smoke (tobacco contains tar too)..
