The older I get, the less I enjoy sugar. It’s even gotten to the point these days where I barely like chocolate. Any kind of sugar just leaves this sour, chemical taste in my mouth. Does anyone else experience this?
Black Beauty is like how I remember chocolate tasting. Wonderful and dark, without any off flavors. I tasted this tea in my mouth for almost an hour afterwards – and the whole time, it felt like eating chocolate.

I thought I was the only one! Loved milk chocolate as a child, moved to darker & darker chocolate as an adult. I rarely am interested in dessert, unless it is well balanced with salt, bitter and/or bitter. Same with my tea preferences. Odd . . .
I Thought I was the only one, too! I keep describing that awful sugar taste to people, and they just look at me like I’m trying to trick them. So glad there is tea in the world to satisfy those nostalgic cravings.
With me it’s more of a cloying too intense sweetness. I still enjoy sour, bitter and savory with a hint of sweet. I have wondered if my journey with tea has caused my tastebuds to evolve in this way . . .
That definitely seems possible. Tea gets us used to tasting complicated flavors, which is the exact opposite of sugar’s single flavor profile. Sugar just tastes boring after experiencing a wider variety of flavors.
