How come herbal and fruit teas dont taste like the flavour they are but they smell like it?!


Question: i dont particularly lke tea but i really fancied the orange with cimmanim one, and it smells delicious but tastes nothing like it, the same with a cherry one that i have bought before

do you have any ideas what i should buy instead

thanks for your help

Raspberry is good.
I know what you mean .Why does coffee smell so good and taste so awful.

I drink a lot of herbal tea and my favourite is lemon and ginger..Also cammomile aids relaxation and a good sleep. They do take a bit of getting used to but i prefer herbal to ordinary tea...............

There is a chinese melon tea, in a white can, and that tastes like melon, it is absolutely wonderful.

If it smells sweet your nose is looking for that when you taste it. Tea has no sweeteners coffee is the same. Add some honey you may like the taste better.

If you buy loose herbs from your herbalist and infuse them, you'll find they taste right and do you good.
Blended teabags are not really that great.
I used to make lovely teas from dried lavender, dried rose petals and chamomile.
Try it and compare!

Peppermint is lovely and lemon and ginger is nice aswell

flavourings

You're probably buying scented teas. A scented tea gives off the smell of what it's been scented with. To get a tea that tastes like what's in it, you really need to get a tisane instead. A tisane is an herbal tea without any tea in it. It's made up of herbs which completely flavor the tea. So a cranberry orange tisane would actually taste and smell like cranberry orange. Make sense?

add a little whole milk n sugar
