So if tea smells delicious, but tastes like, well, hot water with flavourings, is there someway to make it taste as good as it smells? I don't think "make it stronger" is an option. I drank tiny cups out of a teapot over long enough to make it so strong as to make my tongue curl up with - is it tannin? And still, just tastes like warm water.

I had the same problem with T2's creme brulee, smells lovely but tastes like hot water. And yet Katie thinks it's the nicest tea ever.
