I've never found how tea tastes good. I try to drink the tea my mom makes and it just leaves this bad taste in my throat.
Most foods and drinks are too overpowering for me, so I like to cleanse the palate with black coffee or straight tea. This may also be the reason why I find white rice sweet and IPA the best beer.
Oh, interesting, I never knew that. I've been drinking tea since I was super-young as well. Actually for pretty much as long as I can remember. Had to cut down eventually because I was worried about the caffeine content, but I just replaced some of the regular and green tea with herbal teas.
