I dont get it. Its just bitter tasting herbal water.
Ive kept an open mind and even tried the stuff my wife claims is exotic shit from asia.
I just dont get how there can be a culture and industry made from this.
Its just bitter water.
Can somebody explain?
If it's bitter then you did it wrong.
Maybe people enjoy the taste or some shit, I don't know man, I'm not a fucking doctor
You are used to drink a lot of shitty sodas full of sugar, canned water tasting beers, shitty full of fat coffees and fat fuck frozen meals.
Then you just can t take a glass of water because your fucking brain ask for shittiest shit.
I bet you smoke too, you cant sense the smells.
I hate you.
Drink that tea and stop whinning
That sounds about right for bagged black tea.

Wrong on all accounts mister. Never even touched a cig my entire life. We grow our own food in a farm. I have maybe 1 soda a year.

What temperature does she heat the water to? How long does she steep it for? It could be that she's using boiling water, which releases bitter compounds, or she steeps it too long, which also can make it bitter.

Yes, in case of black tea. Green tea become overbrewed and bitter.
Its got an addictive stimulant in it most of the time.
Caffeine ain't nothing to fuck with.

Actually some nice hot green tea and a stoge are quite pleasurable together
