aromatherapy's drawback

Yesterday I brewed a cup of Trader Joe's Sencha Green Tea. Upon first sip I thought:

This tastes like soap. Why would it taste like soap? Did the dishwasher not rinse well? Did a dollop of dish soap land in my mug as I was filling it?

Then it dawned on me. Oh.

They'd better not start making whisky-scented hand lotion, is all I'm sayin.

Yeah. This is why I don't like my dish soap to smell like oranges or lemons. It should smell like *soap*, for Pete's sake.
