Is green tea supposed to taste like fish?

Arlie, I tried that. Still tasted dreadfully. Had to throw the stuff away. In other words, you actually made me throw alcohol away, you bastard! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wow, green tea is a product of the Japanese!? I thought it was Chinese ..?

I think I'll continue drinking green tea, just that I'll check that the tea is made in Japan and that it's not made by the same 'Zeljon6i chai' crap company. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am a peppermint tea fan. I also have tried some green tea and they did not taste like fish. Good choice on throwing it out.

My favourite is liquorice tea. The nice wood-candy from my youth

I like Mandarin orange and Cinnamon Apple Tea in the winter time sometimes..

Mack Attack and JrKASpperov, interestingly the tea that I have really come to like is a mix of peppermint and liquorice root and very little else. It really wakes me up too. It's not a caffeine buzz -- it's better.

Well, green tea is supposed to be bitter. I don't think "fish" should describe its taste accurately, though. :S Yeah, good call on throwing it out!
Also, green tea is definitely Japanese. It, like lots of their food, either has no taste, or a bitter one. I think it has something to do with the samurai lifestyle, but i still prefer the sweet stuff!

Originally posted by uss: Seriously. We have this one brand, which I just wanted to try out, and it tastes like fish. Maybe the Malaysians, or wherever the stuff came from, got their export products mixed up? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Anyway, I refuse to drink this cup of green tea that I have on the desk right now. At least until further notice. No matter how much I try to think "It's green tea, man! It's good for me health!" it tastes awful.

It should taste like seaweed, not fish.

It may not be green tea. But Ive never heard of a powdered fish herb. (sounds like the fish got the worst of it no matter what it tastes like)

Still, so its not a total waste, why not toss some in the water next time you're boiling rice for a seafood dish.

Oh yeah, that's a good thought! My sinkwater, which I always use for tea, tastes very badly. In fact, it's so bad that I *never* drink that sinkwater plainly. I think that's the only 'primitive' thing about Estonia. No worries though, now that we're in the EU, people are gonna control the water, so it's probably bound to change within the next 10 years or so.
