Even new and unsteeped, peppery taste that I get and all- I like the WE so far and expect it will only get better.
But I am not too surprised by the differing opinions on taste thing as I have seen similar sort of differences with flavors before.
My favorite example was from way back when I was a kid:
Pepsi was on a huge kick with The Pepsi Challenge blind taste test, and I tried it every chance I got. And I had at least dozens of chances in the course of a year.
Pepsi always has a "tinny" taste to me, while coke does not.
And I knew other people for whom coke tasted equally... off.
