How can I keep green tea from tasting bitter?!
Answers: I know there is a way, I just don't know how to get rid of that bitter Green-Tea aftertaste. Help!
Watch water temp and brewing time.
If the water temperature is too hot, the tea will be too bitter and much of its delicate aroma will be lost.
Too long a steeping time will result in more bitterness and a less balanced flavor. We recommend experimenting with a range of 1 - 3 minutes. Japanese green teas generally taste best at 1 - 2 minutes while Chinese green teas seem to prefer 2 - 3 minutes (the smaller leaves of Japanese teas will extract faster than the generally larger leaves of Chinese teas).

add honey or a pinch of salt.
There are several ways, the two best ones are to add honey or to simply add a teaspoon of sugar.
I use honey. I guess you could chew gun afterwards.

Try putting less tea in your cup and more water.Don't worry so much about the carbs., I'm sure you look great.
Don't leave the tea bag in the water for longer than two minutes... that's usually when it will get bitter on you.
add your fav juice to it
You are OVER brewing it. Unlike Black Teas that seep for 5 minutes Green Tea is more fragile. I was taught to seep Green Tea 30 to 60 seconds - no longer!
I use Stevia as a sweetner it is safe for people on low/no carb & sweet restrictions.
