Re: Confused on identification of two teas

Theres no accounting for taste buds. I find teas I dont like more
interesting. Even the teas I do like I occasionally dont. There are
too many variables that affect taste like preparation. I go into a
winery recently prepared to taste wine like I do tea and compare that
to the technique of the server. I didnt get far. Some gal stops in
wanting to know if she could sell her paintings on consignment. I
didnt get to ask one obvious question of how so you use a spittoon
without the idea subtracting from the taste. I know the biggest
weakness in wine tasting, aftertaste. Im in an expensive restaurant
over the holidays which had a wine sommelier. I explained I wanted
something with a light aftertaste and warmed the stomach without a
burning sensation. He didnt have a clue. I got mad and said you pick
something and dont tell me why. He could have picked the very best or
the very worse for all I knew.

I've heard
of "supertasters" but haven't researched it... I don't know if I'd
qualify but I'd be close I'd imagine.
