Re: Tuesday TeaDay 4/5/11 Sweet in tea?
It has to be balanced sweetness to make a tea interesting for me. Probably why I don't often get excited by the rather bland sweetness of many hongcha.

As far as unflavoured teas go it´s pretty hard to find one thats actually too sweet...but sometimes teas made entirely from young buds have a lot of sweetness and no astringency or bitterness and I find I don´t like the mouthfeel of those.
teaday today started with Umami Chaya 7132 in my new mogake shiboridashi
Now I´m having a bit of Euro Té`s Pu-erh Tropic....it´s a nice clean shu with slices of dried mango

The only time I like sweetness in tea is when I am sick and usiong tea with honey as a treatment for a sore throat.
