Tea and coffee both taste mostly horrible. I unironically do believe that. Sometimes I find some good tasting stuff, but it’s mostly additional flavour providing agents, otherwise it’s bleh
Tea quality really matters. Almost all of the supermarket stuff in ultra fine bags is literally the leftover dust from actual tea making. (Looking at you, Tetley)
Steep time and water temperature. Oversteeping make it bitter, which is unfortunately how most older people grew up serving it. Some teas need 5 minutes at 95C(Rooibos); other need a minute at 80C(most greens)
