    The taste of tea is heavily dependent on how it gets brewed. Correct brewing temperature and time steeping play a huge role on making sure too many tannins aren’t extracted and it ends up tasting like hot garbage.

      What you mean? Just dump the damn teabag in the hot water in your cup and a spoonful of honey.

      Tastes like honey every time

      Yup, green tea is great if you’re not drinking factory floor dust and you haven’t oversteeped it. If your tea is bitter and is leaving you with a dry mouth, something is wrong.

        And if you don’t leave it to infuse for too long. Unlike black tea that can be left to infuse indefinitely green tea gets bitter after few minutes.

      Same could be said about coffee but I feel like people are more willing to forgive all the garbage coffee out there than the tea.

      I enjoy a good high quality cup of either.
