@vivia @tea @slomo I liked it! I didn't really notice a difference to how I usually prepare it (pouring over with hot water), but in all fairness, I had ramen before with a lot of chili 🌶️ not sure if I was able to taste everything

@vivia @tea @slomo Look what I did today

@vivia @tea @slomo Oh yes, happy new year to you, too!
It's cool that the chemical compound causing the fishiness is even known. Maybe it's a dumb question, but how are strong bitter tastes (as in bitter for most people) for you? E.g. bitter lemon?

@vivia @tea @slomo Interesting, I don't have any bitterness in any of them and prefer stronger black teas/Pu Erh, but also love white tea and the occasional Green or Oolong. Cheap green tea sometimes has a fishy taste to me

@vivia @tea @slomo I am, thank you. How does green tea/black tea taste to you (there's a wide range, I know, but maybe compared to others without this condition)?

@vivia @tea @slomo Okay, first time I am hearing about a condition like this.
Thank you very much, I will try that 

@vivia @tea @slomo That's very interesting. What causes defective taste buds? Oranges are mostly very sweet for me, but yes, some bitterness in there (it's only strong when they're not ripe yet), of course.
I think, I saw a video on brewing mountain tea the original Greek style where the tea is boiled right in the pot for a while. I might have to try that

@vivia @tea @slomo oh yes, lemongrass I agree to. In fact, I would describe lemongrass as somewhat citric as well. However, both mountain tea and lemongrass are not as sour/acidic as real citrus

@vivia @tea oh wow, I didn't know that it's often mixed with other ingredients. I just buy raw mountain tea from the shop, brew it with boiling water and drink it just like that. To me, it has a distinct, citric flavour
