I enjoyed the Jasmine tea and the white tea, which tasted like incense smells. The green tea tasted like spinach and the oolong didnt taste like much. The fermented tea tasted like cut grass. The Cardamom Ceylon black tea didnt have a strong flavor at first but with sweetener, the cardamom really pops. I had hoped that I would like tea unsweetened so that I would have a healthy beverage but it is either no strong enough, bitter, or tastes like plant. To be fair, only the cheap store brand tea has been bitter. Any suggestions for teas to try that are more on the fruity, nutty, floral, or spice side?
White is one of my favorites as well. I’d recommend trying different greens as they aren’t all vegetal. Cheap tea and over brewing tea will make it bitter. If you have a local tea shop I’d go and tell them what you just said and see what they recommend.
I have tried one chinese green tea and one japanese green tea and while not bitter or bad, they just kind of tasted like spinach. Ill give some other green teas a try and maybe adding some spices to my current green tea will… Spice things up.
Try gunpowder or long jing (dragon well) tea.
What I really liked were
Premium Grade Dragon Well Tea from Zhejiang Long Jing Tea from YunnanSourcing
Gunpowder from my local tea shop (+ self grown mint for a sort of Moroccan mint tea)
Asparagus is the flavor I most often tasted!
