The taste of Green Tea **frowns**

GormanGhaste

I love the taste of green tea, sweetened or unsweetened, hot or cold! It's black tea that disappoints me.

You might be overbrewing it, is it the bitterness or the actual flavour that bothers you?

Over brewing can wreck it. Try a fruity flavor green tea - just to get used to it. Lipton Superfruit flavors are really fruity - I like the Red Goji Raspberry and the Acai Dragonfruit ones.

I dislike it without adding mint.

If you don't like the taste of green tea don't drink it. It's not a magical drink.

Try brewing it for a shorter period of time with slightly cooler water if you are finding it bitter. I personally love green tea brewed with a lemon wedge in it. I love it as an iced tea with some sweetener and a few slices of lemon.. even orange slices taste great in it.

I personally find loose leaf tea to be much better in taste than the bags of lipton, Tetley, etc. There are some great flavours out there in tea bag form and loose leaf form. I get loose leaf tea from my local bulk store.

I find green tea delicious! I find that buying good quality loose leaf, makes all the difference in the world.

This.

Tea Bags suck.

Buy yourself a nice difuser (I have a Teavana Tubmbler w/built in infuser. It keeps my tea hot from 9am to well beyond 2pm) and buy loose leaf and brew according to insturctions.

I drink Gyokuro Imperial green tea mixed w/ Cha Ven Thai Tea & 1tsp of Stevia. Delicious!

BITTERNESS! Maybe you're right hey about overbrewing

It can get horrifically bitter with enough time, all tea can really. Its the caffeine. Try cutting back your brewing time by 1-2 minutes see if it helps. The actual taste of green tea is quite mild and refreshing.

I know the health benefits...do you know you can get those same benefits elsewhere?...it's not a magic potion...if you don't like it don't drink it...if you continue to drink it stop *****ing about it. Pretty simple...

DUDE! You seriously need a f****n Chill pill...You find my post lame,Skip It..Stop being a *kitten*.Now Will ya?

LOL....I just don't think you know very much is all...

Based on what, exactly? She just said she drinks it for health benefits, which you agree it has. You are the only one that said anything about green tea and weight loss.

I like it with lemon in it also if you make it a bit weaker you cant even taste it

Hate tea always have... love creamy sweet coffee, latte ..etc. gave them up to lose weight, so tried out flavoured green tea.. most still taste like dirty dishwater.. but add liquorice root and yummmmmmmmmm

meeper123

Exactly what health benefits do you speak of? Anything you can get with green tea you can get elsewhere...it's not a magical potion. If you don't like it, don't drink it. FYI, it does zip for weight loss if that's what you're thinking. If it helped you lose weight I'd be about a buck 35 right now.

you sound like you need some tea to mellow you out chill pill. it does actually have health benefits like reducing the hormone related to stress drink some you need it

Blech! I'm with you - I don't like green tea either.

Sometimes I can handle regular tea, and some herbal teas, but I generally don't drink hot drinks, even coffee (bigger blech!).!

I have a teavana diffuser as well - and am currently rocking the Gyorkuro! I think the diffuser was relatively cheap too.

Tetley has flavoured green teas such as pommegrante, mango acai, raspberry etc....
