I find myself visiting the tea sites and reading about the teas. I think I need to figure out what I like about the ones I do drink now.
I do like Earl Gray. (I hope your throat feels better, Betty.) |
A good place to start is with the bagged teas that you like. Try the loose leaf version. Ask yourself what flavors do you like when you eat?
I love all things salty. When I ran across Genmaicha I was interested because there were some folks who said the toasted rice had a slightly salty flavor. It sounded weird but attactive to me so I tried it. I love me some Genmaicha precisly because it is a trace of saltiness.
If you like fruit look for some teas that have the type of fruit that you like. I would caution against cherry infused teas mainly because they all taste like cough syrup to me.
If you find you are an English Breakfast or Russian tea bagged drinker you will probably enjoy teas that are less flavored. If you enjoy most CS teas you will probably enjoy teas that are more flavored.
