Hey! i bought my first box of green tea today, to replace my coffee, i was so excited until i took a taste, and i noticed it tastes like hot water, there is no flavor!! i bought the lipton red goji and raspberry green tea and put one splenda in it..what did i do wrong? i usually drink black tea with milk and sugar, so maybe its just me, but honestly i dont taste anything ...so what do you all put into yours?

It is a lot weaker than black tea. You may just need to steep it longer0

Well, I drink alot of herbal teas and the best thing for me to use is Stevia-which has 0 calories and is completely natural. I use Stevia in the raw. Another option is using honey. Completely natural as well and if I am correct it is extremely calorie friendly as well. But I actually prefer to use Raw Agave syrup. Total natural and is delicious in teas. The only problem with the Agave is the calorie count is higher than sugar so I only use it at night to avoid the temptation of sugar in my caffeine free teas before bed. Hope this helps.0

I usually put honey in mine... and I think you should probably steep it longer like the last poster suggested.0

I use honey in my tea and coffee. I've been a tea lover for a long time and I've discovered that it can depend on the kind of tea. I've found that it pomegranate and raspberry are a bit too bitter, it steeped too long. I make sure to steep just for a bit and add about a teaspoon of honey. You should try other flavors. Since you were such a big coffee drinker you might make the switch a bit more gradual: black tea - white tea - green tea.0

If your water is not hot enough it won't steep well either. Just below boiling is best. Black tea is so much stronger it's less noticeable if it is a little weak. If upping your water temperature doesn't help, try using 2 bags in your next cup0
