It's probably the tannins. If you havent yet, you can cut the tannins by binding it with a protein. Cream or milk works.

Thank you for the suggestion I’ll give it a shot😊
Also, different teas will steep for different amounts of time, so you can experiment with that to reduce the tannins as well. I have a black tea that shouldn’t steep more than 3 minutes, and another that can go 5 min and still be good.
And what food you have with the tea can alter the taste of the tea and the food.
Congrats on your progress!!! 🎉
Thank you :)
