So, I finally tried it without sweetener. It was still kind of sweet, and just a little bitter, but that’s all that really seemed to be different. It’s sometimes too sweet with sweetener, so I’ve mostly been drinking it when I’m eating something sweet, like toast and jam. With milk and no sweetener, it was nicer to drink on its own.
I’ve been drinking tea since I was little, but I only started drinking loose leaf about two years ago. I haven’t tried nearly as many teas as I would like. Starting 2011, I’m going to try to write out tasting notes rather than just recording that I drank something, but I’m not that familiar with a lot of the jargon yet. Also, I’m easily pleased, so I probably tend to rate high. I hope my tasting notes will be helpful to others, but, if nothing else, it’ll help me remember what I thought of various teas, which will be helpful when I’m ordering more.
