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.

I think the problem is flavoured teas in general. They always smell better than they taste. I'd suggest just getting some good leaf tea. If you are looking for a bit of flavour, get something like jasmine tea. It actually tastes like the smell. If you're a T2 gal, their organic jasmine sencha is good.
And I guess I don't have to tell you not to use tea bags. Leaves only please!
