Default Ku Ding Cha

Wow. Not what I was expecting. I have been wanting to pick up some Ku
Ding Cha for a month or so now, and this weekend I bought a box. Now I
knew it was going to be bitter, and I enjoy things like Guiness
Draughts and other similar drinks... but this was altogether different.
The bitterness hits you like a suckerpunch. It is supposed to have all
kinds of health benefits (which may or may not be true and not of much
concern to me either way) and I found out today that it really is not
tea at all but a sort of evergreen leaf.

Has anyone experiences this "wonderful" tea, and is there any way to
make it more palateable? I struggled to make it through about 6-8oz. of
it last night.

Drinking: Yunnan green Pu-Erh
