Can I please change taste buds with someone? :(
I am really sad. I’ve tried two of Tippy’s Teas now and I don’t really like either of them. They really aren’t living up to the hype for me. :( Turning out to be such a waste of money, I don’t even know what’s wrong with me… Clearly there is something wrong with me since everyone adores these teas and I’m literally the only one who doesn’t like them.
Gahh! I really wish I had better taste buds. :(
This tasted a bit malty, but mainly just woody to me. Not at all what I expected. :( Need to learn not to trust so much in everyone’s tasting notes on teas because I seem to always be the odd one out. My taste buds suck, man. :(
Flavors: Malt, Wood

Black teas really don’t seem to be your thing. I mean, there are some you post about liking, but there are way more you don’t like.
nothing wrong with you! it might just be you will enjoy a particular variety of black teas. I’d recommend swaps instead of purchases for black teas because you seem to have issues with them.
OMGsrsly, I don’t think that any tea is really “my thing” anymore. Used to love all the oolongs but now I’m very particular. I only really like green floral oolongs and really dislike the others. Don’t really like silver needle white tea, really only like white tea when it’s flavored. Don’t like green tea unless it’s flavored or genmaicha. And while I do like quite a few black teas, I am really particular and picky on them. Feel like I’ve figured out the other teas, but not black teas so far. There’s just so many and I feel like it’s still just trial and error, ya know? Don’t know if that makes sense. I’m just super picky, and I can’t always tell what I won’t like and what I will like. It’s easier to tell on the other teas for me.
Yeah, bummer is the people that have the black teas that I wanna try don’t wanna swap with me at all. Like ever. xD So that makes it harder, Sil
You shouldn’t ever blame yourself for not liking something. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with you! Everybody has different tastes. It’s like books. All my friends rave about Shades of Gray and I couldn’t get past the first half of the first book. My friends think I’m nuts, or elitest or something. But I don’t like that book. There’s nothing wrong with me, or with them, we jsut have different tastes. Same with tea. If you don’t like a tea that everyone else raves about, you’re not wrong. We just have different tastes.
ost…we can do a swap anytime…or i can just send out a sampling of things to try..not like i need tea back. I’m a little insane these days but i’m happy to try and o through your tasting notes and find things you haven’t tried that are in my cupboard.
:( If you want my list (of DOOM) I’m happy to just share some samples. I don’t really need anything back right now, is the problem. That and I just don’t have nearly the selection Sil does for straight black teas.
And I think everyone goes through periods where tea is just tasting meh. Totally normal, not broken.
i have way more puerh than black teas now hahaha after mandala and streetshop lol
I have to apologise, we are really sad that you seemed disappointed with our teas.
Aw, Ost :( If there’s anything in my cupboard you want to try just let me know.
Do you tend to brew your the same as others? Maybe you could try under-leafing to reduce some of the woodenness?
