Strange Taste?

I'm finding a rather strange taste in two different teas.

It's almost a metallic flavor. I thought maybe at first that it might
be blood.

The tea teas are Tazo Awake, and Twinnings Orange Pekoe.

It first appeared in the Tazo awake, but only for a moment or two, and
then it was gone. Yet, it was so remarkable, that I noted it
immediately.

I have a very small package of Twinnings Orange Pekoe tea, and I opened
it up and tried it today. The taste is persistent in the tea.

It almost reminds me of flowery Assam.

I've also considered that it might be the water.

Well, to be honest, this tea is to hold me over until I can get to some
better tea.

My first thought would be iron contamination in the water.
