@thelme55 Yes, and I am on blood thinner, that's why I can't drink it

Do you add sugar or anything I was figuring that would take the bitterness away.

No, I don´t add sugar or honey but you can do that if you want to. Honey is the best for adding to green tea.

I do not mind bitter green tea either. In fact my parents often say the green tea available here is not bitter enough

(they like "real" Japanese green tea).

@thelme55 My husband drinks tea in the afternoon in winter, but not green tea, usually the Black Tea and he wants it made with whole leaves, no sachets.

@LadyDuck With whole leaves? It must be expensive. I have not seen whole tea leaves here. does he drink it with fresh milk?

That will be very useful advice for those who like green tea. I don't have it often but I'll remember your words. I don't like it bitter.

I don't have a problem with green tea being bitter, but it often seems to be weak when I make it. Not really a fan of it, unless I have it in a Chinese restaurant.

I would just add a little non sugar too give it a taste of sweet. I've had green tea many times but the American version.

@thelme55 I will see if I have any for a photo and maybe the ingredients. I think it must be milder because I don't consider it bitter even with boiling water.

@thelme55 there are different brands here but there all supposed to be made with green tea leaves. Maybe some are more butter than others. When I was young my grandmother kept us have some but it was weak and she added a lot of milk.

I like green tea, but it often happens that I leave it for 15-20 minutes, because I forget about it and it becomes bitteeeeeer.

I love green tea too. I used to drink it as plain as it is but lately I have dry throats that I would usually need to mix a little honey.

I have never been bothered by "bitterness" in green tea. It soothes my stomach when I have been challenging said stomach. But I will try what you have suggested.
