Why your chai feels bland after mithai and what science says
A recent study reveals that sugary foods can diminish taste bud sensitivity, particularly to bitter flavors. Since tea's depth comes from tannins and polyphenols, enjoying sweets beforehand can make chai taste weak. To fully savor your tea, try waiting, rinsing your mouth, or brewing a stronger cup, ensuring a delightful experience even after indulging in mithai.
