"I don't like that kind of tea" "that tea is too bitter." It is amazing how often you can hear these phrases. What is interesting is that any tea, with the exception of herbal, are all from the same plant. Granted teas do have quite a range of flavors, quite a range of added herbs and such, but I do believe some of these statements stem from a lack of brewing.
About a year ago I started actually brewing tea for the proper times and in doing so I discovered that I really do like green tea! It is quite delicious. Prior to this I would only drink infusions or tisanes. I had green tea but I would often avoid drinking it. Now, one of my favorite teas is a toasted rice tea from Japan. Amazingly satisfying!
So follow the instructions prior to deciding if you do or do not like a tea. You may surprise yourself!
Hmmm, I wOnder what other areas of life that could be applied to?
