I thought I had to give this one just one more try. I am glad I got just a small amount, still have a little bit left though.
I added in some vanilla and about a half teaspoon of rock sugar. It helped make the tea more drinkable but still not good. To me it has a chemical taste to it. With the addition of vanilla, the aftertaste is much more cola than the actual tea.
It was suggested to me to try this tea iced and mixed with carbonated water or soda water. Not sure if I will try that, but I will keep you posted.
This is You :-D

Bio
I am a lifetime tea lover.
I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.
My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.
I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.
I love iced teas and cold brews.
My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.
I am in love with the whole experience of tea.

I was so disappointed with this one also. The soda water addition sounds interesting. I should have tried that instead of feeding the remainders of my brew down the drain.
