Need Recommendations For A Non Bitter Green Tea

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

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 quickerCat Very Happy

 

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.

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
