I usually don’t drink much black tea at home. Drink it most of the day at work and when I get home I’m usually in the mood for something else. Sil sent me several black tea samples, some I’ve taken to work but a couple I thought deserved to be treated better than that. It’s really cold, wet, WINDY here today. I thought it would be the perfect day to lie on the couch watch a couple of movies and drink some tea.
This was one of those teas. This is not for me. I’m not getting much flavor at all, it’s thin on the tongue, and not astringent but has that annoying “such all the moisture out of your mouth feeling” – wish someone would tell me what that’s really called. I got even less out of the 2nd steep.
Happy that lots of you love this tea, but it’s a HUGE miss for me. Thanks Sil for the opportunity to try it.

sorry it wasn’t for you, but happy you didn’t “waste” money getting a tea you didn’t like in a larger quantity! ;)
Yep, I agree – no problem with the misses. Every tea tried is a learning experience towards finding the perfect ones. I thinkI’m learning that Taiwan blacks might not be my fav. Ordered 3 last night, those should tell me for sure.

not sure if there’s an actual term for it in terms of tea, but i know what you mean. xerostomia is the stodgy medical term. you’re saying this tea has a xerostomic effect on you? such a pompous word, lol.
