How do you start to like tea?!


Question: How do you start to like tea!?
Okay, I will be traveling to Japan for approximately half a year starting this Spring!. I have tried many different kinds of tea, including green tea, and I still haven't really warmed up to the taste of it yet!. I need to get from not liking tea at all, to being able to drink it without adding anything <when you request to add something to the tea they had already made for you is a small insult to japanese people>!. Which is the best way through experience/knowledge could I slowly start to find a liking to normal green tea!. I like iced tea, but not normal tea, so any help will be greatly appreciated!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're right, you will be faced with a lot of tea in Japan, both 'normal' and green, hot and cold, poured properly and bottled in vending machines!. I lived there for a year, and hated tea at first, but I think liking it just comes with practice and having it often as with all other foods!. (Although personally I never could bring myself to like the bottled variety)!. Just make yourself a lot of black tea over the next while, hot and cold, and you will eventually 'acquire' a taste for it, especially if you drink it when you're actually thirsty!. Actually, you'll find when you're over there that cold black tea is quite refreshing in the hot spring/summer months ^_^Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well it depends on your taste buds, but when I liked tea I had it with quite a lot of sugar (because i loved sweet things) Make tea the way you like!. Although I like normal english tea, I don't like green tea or any other like twinings!. So maybe you won't get used to of it!.
Well, maybe if you drink it everyday!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I used to not like green tea as well!. I started brewing green tea and adding milk, sugar, and a dash of vanilla extract!. Over time, I stopped adding the extract, then the sugar, then the milk!. I now really like green tea, but it took a few months!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It may just be you have not had a well prepared tea, I know you've been trying different kinds, but there are 100's to choose from, so keep trying until you find one you like! (my only concern is you they may not serve the one you like) Have a wonderful time in Japan, and good luck!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
