Soapy. Very soapy. Drinking dishwater would be more appealing. Yuck!

However, I am sure that taste will go away in a few days. Everything I eat or drink right now tastes off, probably due to the sinus surgery on Thursday. Surgery went well, and no splints or heavy packing had to be used. That means that I can breathe a little bit through my nose, and the pain isn’t nearly as intense. I go back to the ENT on Friday for a follow up and debridement. Hopefully once the crusty, bloody mucus is removed, I’ll start tasting properly again.

Thank you! I talked to someone in an online group for my condition and she said the same thing happened to her, only everything tasted a little like burnt plastic. Yuck! LOL She said hers went away in about 2 weeks.

Bio

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
