hi. i want to start drinking green tea regularly bcs it has a lot of antioxidants. it is very good for health..BU t.. it tastes reallly bAd!
how do those of you who drink it regularly deal with the disgusting taste? or is there a type of green tea which actually tastes good?
Re: tasteless but good for you
Don't drink green tea that is very strong. It quickly becomes very bitter. One bag can make 2-3 cups easily.
I like to add some honey to it. And sometimes cardamom and cinnamon.
Re: tasteless but good for you
I found decaffinated green tea is milder but you may lose out on some of the benefits of green tea.
Don't let the teabag brew in the cup for too long, like you would with normal tea. Like Sahar says, green tea becomes bitter very quickly.
How about flavoured green teas?
The one with mint is my personal fav.. I don't like the one with lemon :S
Re: tasteless but good for you

Re: tasteless but good for you

Re: tasteless but good for you

GREEN TEA... THE REAL PESHAWARI ONE TASTES LIKE MUD.. IF TAKEN W.OUT SUGA HONEY.

Re: tasteless but good for you
wow, not that am big fan of green tea ..... but i never thought it tastes bad
btw, Qehwa and Green tea are same thing rite ? lol
Re: tasteless but good for you
no it doesnt taste bad at all.. WHO SAYS MUD TASTES CRAP?? i like the taste of mud .. seriously. qehwa n gren tea one and the same thing
infact green n black tea comes from same plant , same leaves .. its just that leaves r fermented first then crushed 2 make black tea where as leaves r left in the open to dry n that way we get green tea .. same leaves n same amount of caffine n other stuff
if u dont like the taste of original greeen tea try chinese jasmine tea. its the same thing its just that when the leaves r dried in the open they r mixed with jasmine flowers they take up the fragrance n sweetness of the flowers n taste somewhat different .
Re: tasteless but good for you
I have tried couple of them but i kinda liked the ginger and lemon, it tastes good. I drink with every meal
Re: tasteless but good for you
ginger is good in moderation revs up ur blood flow.don know about ginger n lemon but i take honey n ginger one when i hav cold. but id still say nothin like plain old green tea for good skin
the one im just starting to drink now is jiaogulan tea. it is bitter even though its sort of sweet. honey does not do the trick. i have to use sugar and then lemon juice cause then it gets justtoo sweet. but at least it is drinkable, bcs plain green tea was just horrible. this is a herbal teawith lots of antioxidants nd other good stuff.
will putting sugar in ruin the nutritional benefits?
someone mentioned green tea with jasmine..yeah i tried that but it was waay too sweet..nd still had this weird bitter after taste..
Re: tasteless but good for you
Peshawari green tea tastes good if added a lot of sugar and some lemon. Infact it sorta tastes like lemonade only hot. Now the sugar part may defeat the purpose of burning calories but atleast it tastes good that way. :biggthumb
Re: tasteless but good for you
i have the one which is a combination and not only green tea but i have those tea bags too at home and sometimes just drink it normal

my purpose is not to burn calories..i am drinking it for its antioxidant benefits..so oas long as the sugar does not defeat that purpose bring on the cals!

You should never boil green tea over the flame. After boiling water turn off the stove and add the tea bag/leaves and let it steep for five min and it will not taste bad.
Re: tasteless but good for you
^ yeah thats the right way of making it. and dont use too much of the tea jst few leaves do the trick.
try falvoured green tea. mint is best like gna said. its usually not the taste that is bad its the smell. so flavoured ones prolly have nice smell u can drink it without any sugar it wont taste bad at all.
