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 teas?

This was based one the tea prepared for me by my local chinese tea shop. I have not had any problems with bitterness since getting loose leaf that was not Kroger. I was shocked that tea generally isnt bitter because I made the mistake of buying kroger. It is isnt even the cheapest I have but it is by far the most bitter.
