Need Recommendations For A Non Bitter Green Tea - Page 2

Harpa · ‎03-10-2010

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.

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.
