I'm trying to broaden my tea-buds (hehe..) towards tea as I've been pretty stuck on the couple types i know i like, the most adventurous I've been is trying bubble teas and recently a canned milk tea (which was meh, I've found I'm not a fan of mixing tea or booze with dairy)
This is my first time trying just a black tea on its own. For all these teas I'll try them in multiple ways, at least 3-4 maybe more. We have a specialty tea/chocolate store here where they got a tower of the stuff that you can pick and choose from, i think I have 25-30 flavours. A couple or so might be duplicates tho oops 😅
Most of these are going to be Basilur brand.
100% ceylon black tea
By itself: God DAAMMN that's bitter as hell, tbf I left it to steep for 5 minutes... i got distracted. I'm not saying this to mock but the initial smell to my undeveloped senses was, old wet lump of fall leaves, which makes sense i think. Had my mouth feel as if i put cotton balls in it. 2/10
With (brown) sugar: i need Lots of sugar but then i see why people like it. I could sip away a mugful but I'd know i was missing something, i think it'd be better if i steeped it less and i think it could get to an 8 but for now 7/10
Sugar + milk: Not a fan! Not a fan! Might have put too much milk. Texture bad, too sweet with the amount of sugar i already put in, the tea+dairy combo just doesn't sit right with me (i already don't like booze+dairy so I'm not surprised). Also leaves the yucky dairy after taste, could get a higher number if i tried again with less steep time, sugar and milk. 3/10
Sugar + lime: YESSSSSSS this is my shit! I'm not surprised, my usual tea to have is a black tea with peach, honey+sugar and lots of lime juice, dangerous, could drink many liters of this if i had no self control. 10 OUTTA 10 BABYYYYYY
I smushed a bit of fresh nectarine in the lime one, yeah Of Course it's good duh
