UGH! I hate being sick! On top of that, the new office addition I moved into was having more work done on it today with the vents, so dust dust everywhere, and with my terrible cough/cold and the dust I had an allergy pill to keep breathing lol. So now I can’t smell or taste a whole lot because my sinuses are right plugged up and drying as well from the antihistamine. GAH! I made this tea in hopes the caffeine would help clear some stuff out, but all I smell is this vague honey scent and taste a tiny bit of malt. And sadface, this tea is amazing when I am not sick! Well, at least I know it does taste good and it’s just me. See previous notes on this tea! I hope I get unsick soon!
This is You :-D

Bio
Hello all, I am an electrical engineer (read:NERD :D), who is a bit obsessed with tea! I discovered loose tea in 2011, DAVIDsTEA in 2012 and it took off from there. I really started drinking/enjoying tea because it was excellent to take to class in the morning and because I can’t handle coffee! (unless it’s a really good cappuccino or latte, or decent decaf haha)
I enjoy a variety of teas – current favorites being ripe and raw pu’erhs, chinese black teas and herbal/green rooibos blends. I also enjoy white, green, and oolong teas, although I tend to drink them more in the warmer months. I have also tried matcha and guayusa, but I don’t drink them too often as I am a bit sensitive to caffeine. As a result I don’t drink black teas as often as I used to, but in moderation I can still enjoy a wide variety of teas.
Oh, and I have a severe peanut allergy and try to avoid most other nuts, just to be safe. Limits my tea choices a bit, but that’s ok. However I have tried almonds and found out I can eat them, so I have been trying a few teas with them in them.

I hope you feel better soon :)
Sounds like you need something with mint or eucalyptus. Either that, or it’s a perfect time to finish off teas you can’t stand, since you can’t taste anything. ;-)
