Green Tea Brewing Without the Bitterness

Green Tea Brewing Without the Bitterness

Cooler water and shorter steeps unlock green tea's sweet side.

Green tea turns bitter when brewed too hot.

The cooler method

Let boiled water cool to around 75 to 80 degrees Celsius, use a slightly heavier leaf measure, and steep for just one to two minutes.

Re-steep it

Good green tea can be re-steeped two or three times, each cup revealing new notes. We share a foolproof method and how to fix a brew gone wrong.
