I enjoyed the Jasmine tea and the white tea, which tasted like incense smells. The green tea tasted like spinach and the oolong didnt taste like much. The fermented tea tasted like cut grass. The Cardamom Ceylon black tea didnt have a strong flavor at first but with sweetener, the cardamom really pops. I had hoped that I would like tea unsweetened so that I would have a healthy beverage but it is either no strong enough, bitter, or tastes like plant. To be fair, only the cheap store brand tea has been bitter. Any suggestions for teas to try that are more on the fruity, nutty, floral, or spice side?

Chinese Mount Wuyi Kungfu Tea is fruity, Did you try ?

I haven't heard of that one, I'll have to look into it.

Yes, you should. Oolong tea in Mount Wuyi has a very high aroma. You can smell it from afar, and fruit aroma is one of their major features.

I like black tea, like lotus ear tea. I actually don't want to drink too many additives and prefer the original taste of tea.

I can't seem to find "lotus ear tea" is there another name for it?
