Experience I have been an avid tea drinker most of my adult life and have travelled extensively in China, India and Japan. During my travels I came to understand how tea is grown and processed.
In 2005 I bought a high quality loose leaf tea company -- Golden Moon Tea and actively promote the understanding of tea on our website located at http://www.goldenmoontea.com.
I have also received training from the Specialty Tea Institute as part of their Tea Certification Program.

Expert: Jon M. Stout Date: 3/25/2007 Subject: no taste
Question The only kind of tea I can taste is the Chai that comes as liquid. All other tea
tastes like warm water, although I can smell it. I don't know why. Do you have
any idea why this would be or what I can do about it?
Answer Dear Meg,
It is difficult to answer without more information. Can you tell me what type of tea you are drinking that has no taste?
Is the tea bagged or loose leaf? Has it been stored for a length of time? Are you infusing the tea for at least 3-4 minutes in near boiling water?
If you can give me more information I will be happy to help you in any way.
