    All the tea I buy tastes like hot water! It's naaaaasty.

    Should I add some honey or sugar or something? I'm tired of coffee, and I wanna drink tea.

    Are you steeping it long enough? Is it loose or bagged? If it's loose, are you using enough?

    yeah you might be using too much water, or not steeping it long enough. you gotta let it set for a while

    well the taste is definately subtler than coffee, but like coffee. it can be with or without milk, citrus juice, a sweetener and/or whatever.
    black tea: 5mn
    green : 3mn

    the best tea I have found is here

    http://www.mightyleaf.com/

    It's a little more expensive but much better than anything else out there. Worth a try.

    even the lowest priced tea... tastes like tea.
    you can't appreciate high quality/special tea if don't have much experience with regular tea (it's true for anything gastronomic).
