Opinions about Green Tea, Please...

[cynsaun]

Ok, I have tried to like this tea many times. I keep thinking maybe it justs hit me the wrong way the last time I gave it a chance. I just find it so bitter and unappealing. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

It has TREMENDOUS HEALTH BENEFITS!

Seriously...I have been to chicken to try it. Just doesn't sound good and now I know it is bitter, forget it!

 

[Briarmom]

No. I find it bitter as well. I wanted to drink it to be healthier, but I don't like it.

I say, Green Tea, No Thanks!

 

[Dodie]

I don't find it bitter so much -- I find it blah. Yuck.

I've tried too and just can't stomach it. Maybe it could be an acquired taste if you could just keep forcing it down?

 

[L107ANGEL]

Nope, bitter and NASTY. Tea in general is vile and disgusting.

 

[luvmydogs]

I don't like green tea, either.

There's actually a Sex & The City episode where Samantha gets one of her current men to do green tea shots to...ahem...cleanse his system, so to speak. I won't go on as to why he needs cleansing.......

There's tons of different types of green teas out there and lots have fruit blends in them.
Have you tried Stash Green teas? I find them to be a lot smoother than other brands and I use honey in mine.

Ewwww! I can't stand it. Now, chai tea -yummy!

There are some brands of green tea that have other things mixed in, like lemongrass, which help the flavor a lot. Right now I drink Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger Green Tea, and sometimes I drink Good Earth Green Tea Blend. Both are very tasty, and have green tea as the main ingredient.

Well I've just recently discovered how bitter it is. I wouldn't drink it.

Myst

It's okay if you add honey or sugar, but plain yuck, no way!

Is it bitter, but I always add two sweetener packets to make it taste better.

Do any of you drink iced tea? I love unsweetened iced tea. But unsweetened green tea is NASTY.

I have tried it with a sweetener, but it just seemed so artificial. It just masks the bitterness, but I can still pick up on it. Does that make sense?

I love any kind of tea, green included. The only exception would be if a shot of sherry was added.............blech

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

I've never found green tea to be bitter.

I heard white tea is actually better for you (healthwise). Maybe that tastes better? I wouldn't know, since I haven't tried either.

 

[ryan840]

Wow. I love green tea! Maybe you are all steeping it too long? Try it at different times, because the stronger it is the more bitter it gets. There are all sorts of green tea flavors out there now, even Earl Grey, which is very good. I even drink iced green tea. It doesn't bother me when it's strong, but like I said, it really makes a huge difference when you steep if for a short time.

I'm sure a shot of sherry would overpower the bitterness of that particular tea.

Too true. Sherry can make anything taste better. Not bitter.
