Need Recommendations For A Non Bitter Green Tea

cuddlesmama — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 14:31:10 GMT

I have been a tea drinker all of my life (don't like coffee at all) I am in the search for a green tea that's not bitter. Any suggestions would be wonderful. TIA

Stash makes a white green fusion that is wonderful. Not bitter at all.

I love green tea, my favorite is Bigelow Green Tea with Lemon. I use Stevia with it and it is delicious. Make it hot in the morning and also make ice tea. I purchase at Walmart. NOT bitter at all!

I drink Tetley green tea. It is a tea bag and tastes like Chinese tea. Not bitter at all. I hope that you find what you are looking for.

Hi. I hated green tea. My taste buds strongly pick up bitterness in foods, drinks. I loathed earthy green tea.

9 years ago I forced myself to taste test multiple brands due to it being high in antioxidants; reducing inflammation, (which I need due to multiple autoimmune disease,) kidney stones, cardiovascular ( heart and brain- had a stroke and have awlful family cardiac history) major benefits from reducing inflammation, so on.....

I tried every brand my stores had, ordered from private companies, bought what everyone and anyone recommended.....it took 6 WEEKS- and 34 brands----I know, who does that- (I did the same thing when deciding to include yogurt in my diet)

I drank one brand per day, all day and night, at the end of the day decided which went in the NO WAY pile and which was OK- try again another day.

There was only one I could take, and from that day, until now, I will never give it up- I drink it all day and night- no water, just green tea, iced- by the giant pitcher full, at least 64-80oz. I fill my container as soon as it's empty.- LIPTON DECAF GREENTEA TEA

https://www.lipton.com/us/en/our-teas/hot-tea/green/decaffeinated-green-tea.html

I used to boil H2O, then add tea bags (I put 12)- years ago I switch to cold brew, just tap water or filtered, then add bags, put in fridge. It brews quickly. There's papers on cold brew being as effective or better than boiled water, and it's easier and quicker

I find it at Target, Wegmans, call your local stores to find it. Becareful grabbing the correct box, their regular green tea looks very similar.

OMGOSH, sorry for the novel

Thanks for your review. I have always stayed away from green tea because of the taste. I, for some reason, always thought that all green tea was decaffeinated. I am going to give this a try and see if MY taste buds will accept it.

I find the green tea with white leaves is milder or the green tea combinations with mint, etc

@cuddlesmama

Don't forget that whenever you brew green tea, the water should not come to a boil, (like when you are making black tea) and also, just brew for 1-3 minutes. (Black brews for 5; red for 10; whites also brew 1-3 minutes.)

If you follow these principals, you shouldn't have any bitterness in any green tea.

I do not like the taste of green tea either. But I LOVE Andrew Lessman's green tea with peppermint. It is the only bag tea I will drink. They are made of silk bags and you dont have to worry about loose leaves or paper bags/tags/staples on the tea bags.

I also really love matcha green tea. It is a lot more pricey but they are deliscious and healthy. Lots of good brands out there, but my current favorite is full leaf tea company

Green tea is delicate 0 does not do well in boiling water and left to steep - I only leave it for 1 minute and take the loose leaves out. Otherwise it is bitter.

I enjoy Bigelow Decaffeinated Green Tea.

Agree with you on Andrew's peppermint green tea. Wish I could afford to drink it all day!

My husband commented how much he liked the Andrew Lessman Green Tea with Peppermint. I think he said it about 3-4 times how much he liked it. Wow - guess I should get some more.

@cuddlesmama

I agree with those who say not to boil water for green tea; that is known to cause it to taste bitter.

I also agree with those recommending Andrew Lessman’s green tea. He claims you can’t do anything to it to make it bitter. I suggest watching a video presentation on HSN to hear him talk about it. I like his green tea.

Another vote for Andrew Lessman's green teas. All varieties are good and not bitter; jasmine infused, peppermint, Earl Grey.

If your tea is bitter you are steeping it too long! Try shortening your steeping time and you'll have a lovely tasting cup of tea.

I have always loved the taste of green tea but it would make me feel queasy every time I drank it. I tried Twingings gunpowder green tea. It is loose leaf in a tin. It is delicious and does not make me feel ill. I detect no bitterness. Be sure that you are not boiling the water when making green tea.
