Back Log from last weekend.
How can a tea that smells so good, taste so bad?
How can a tea that tastes so bad have such a high rating? I LOVE Puerh, this one turned my stomach. I couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth or the smell out of my timolino for hours! I feel like rotting leaves steeped in boiling water would be the equivalent. I’m feeling like I must have meesed something up seeing as how everyone seems to love it. I’m not sure I’ll give it a seond chance even though I have some left. :(

I despise this. The herb used to give it the sticky rice flavor and I do not get along. It and cilantro are my mortal enemies.
I have this in my collection and now I’m not looking forward to drinking it. :( Good thing it’s only 3 samples.
I’m with you on your thoughts “How can a tea that smells so good, taste so bad?
How can a tea that tastes so bad have such a high rating?” Still puzzles me and is taking up precious cupboard space…
I felt like it was rotten. I need to get rid of it and I can’t just throw it away, I can’t throw away tea.
Hmmm….if this tea smells nice yet is undrinkable then perhaps it would be suitable to make incense with?
@ BoxerMama: I feel the same way, which is why I’m housing the small amount that I have… If just smelling it would be enough. :)
I have no idea how to make incense. If it tasted how it smelled it would probably be one of my favourites. If you would like to try it, I would be happy to send some your way.
I love this one, and cilantro… Maybe it’s related?
I was thinking it was related. But there isn’t too much info out there on the herb in here, to the point I can never remember its name.
There is a tea company, perhaps purepuer.com or someone?, who sells tea fragrancers. It is like a Scentsy light or something, Yankee Candle makes and sells them, too, and you usually burn wax tarts in them, but they sell theirs for putting your favorite tea leaves and a bit of water in, and as the candle warms it the tea scents your house. I was surprised to see it because I didn’t think the aroma would be strong enough to warrant a warmer.
I’d be more than willing to take this off your hand if it has any connection to cilantro ;)
Crow, pm me your address! It’s all yours!
