How do you like your green tea?!
Question: I found plain tea to be too bitter for me. I've been reading about its benefits and I want to give it a try.
What do you add to your tea for your taste, sugar? Hot or cold water? How much?
Thanks! =)

I like my green tea as whole leaves in a French press.
Meaning, I apply whole green tea leaves in the French press, add hot boiling water, then push the press down so that the tea leaves are screened at the bottom and then poor it fresh in my cup.
Wallah, an antioxidant that works.
Store bought commercial brands have already oxidized in the processing and don't work for anti aging purposes.
I had this problem too when i first started drinking it. what helped me: using the green tea w/ other flavors like berry etc, sugar or sweetner, lemon juice. I like it both hot and cold
Chilled, no sugar just the pure green tea taste. Although the Lipton green tea with citrus flavor is really good.

I know how you feel. Green tea can taste weird at times. That's because of the toasted rice that include in green tea packaging. I prefer to drink it hot. I do not put anything in there because any add-on can shake up the pure taste of green tea.
I suggest you get a pre-packaged cold green tea sold in healthy grocery store like Whole Food. It isn't too sweet but it is better than the fresh brew.
it is probably becoming bitter because you are steeping it too long. green tea should be steeped for 60 seconds. and I prefer it lukewarm and without anything added (sugar, lemon, etc)
Make sure you let it steep for 1 - 2 minutes only, then it doesn't get so bitter. Also, only brew with water of 170 degrees F (80 celcius).
I like jasmine tea, the aroma is sweet and yummy. I would also recommend flavoured green teas, if it's still too bitter for you :)
I like it hot and plain .
hot - warm
2 Tbs Sugar
I keep it light.I prefer loose tea to tea bags.When it is brewing I add some cardommam.Then a little honey.
