taste changing ... evolving ;)

while in the past year i haven't drank a huge amount/variety of tea, i
just noticed drinking 3 bottled teas (unsweetened) that they have
different tastes...-not wow this is better than loose leaf- but
changes in between them that i did not notice 1-1.5years ago when they
all seemed the same (and i had tried hard to see a difference!).

interesting...

just wanted to share

:)

Its more experience than your tastebuds. Every tea taste different
enough to leave an impression. The impressions add up leading to
discerning taste. You get centered just making a pot. How the tea
got to the cup is a memory in itself adding to the taste. I can
almost remember where I bought every tea on the shelf or when the
package arrived from China. I'm a big fan of the penny/gram Indian
teas but that price has just about disappeared.

It is a neat experience once that starts to happen and you are
cognizant of it. The other neat effect is once you have refined your
palate/tastes even more and you find yourself "regressing" back to
lesser quality teas for specific tastes and flavors.

I recently began tea drinking with a bias against fermented teas, for
health reasons, but now accept that, in moderation, an oolong is a
tasty alternative.
