Improving sense of taste/smell

As I’ve gotten older I notice that my sense of taste is declining. In searching the internet I found an interest bit from Justin W on Tea Chat from 2010:

“- A higher humidity can improve your sense of taste and smell. That explains why tea always taste best during a nice rain. I live in a particularly dry climate, so I think it’s time to invest in a humidifier (which I’ve been meaning to get for a while).

- Our sense of taste and smell is heightened after exercise. This could be one of the reasons, among other things, morning tea doesn’t always taste the best. On my days off I’ll drink in the mornings, but I find it to not be as good as in the evening (after I’ve been running around all day doing things). You have to get the blood flowing!

- Dry mouth is bad for taste. Like I said earlier, I live in a dry climate, and I tend to wake up with a dry mouth in the mornings. Keep up on the water!"

This probably explains why I’m having trouble getting into unflavored teas lately.

These are just a few interesting ones not everyone might think about.

Happy tea drinking everybody!
