What are your theories? the scenario is.....
Drink tea with 1 sugar... the tea tastes sweet.
Eat something sweet before drinking tea with 1 sugar.... the tea doesn't taste sweet.
Surely the tea should taste sweeter or at least just as sweet ?

If you haven't cleaned you mouth thoroughly between the two then you have a contaminated test.
A bio-film builds up with meals which prevents the sugar from reaching the taste buds already saturated by the sweet food.

It depends on how sweet the food was. If it was very sweet like a biscuit that might have the equivalent of 2-3 spoons of sugar baked into it then the tea will taste less sweet compared to the food. Try enjoying your tea separately or sweetening the tea more and having a lighter snack.

Maybe the sweet that you eat is some what different then the sweet in the tea and that changes every thing.

Um, drink your tea like you like it. If you like it w/ 1 sugar, fine. Just know it always tastes the same; it's only your tongue that is changing based upon what you drink w/ the tea.

the tea tastes the same.but if you eat something sweeter before the tea, it will seem to you that the tea is less sweet.
