recently purchased two pounds of decaf Ceylon/Orange Pekoe _ the first pot tasted 'funny' _ checked the loose tea & it had a definite fragrance _ something like Earl Gray, flowery but not really like bergamont _
the last batch of this tea (from the same supplier) had no fragrance _
any opinions ?
were we given the wrong tea ?
its iced tea season & I really need a 'plain' tea _
tea confusion
Without seeing or tasting it, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to tell you. Can you identify small bits of orange peel amongst the tea batch? Maybe decaf is why it doesn't smell normal. You say it tastes funny, does that mean bad or just not orange?

You could try 'airing' it out for a day or so. If you have the room, and the time, you can spread it out and let it sit for a day. Then make yourself a cup, and if it still tastes funny, it's probobly the tea, not any outside influences.
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, dosn't try it on.
