Green Tea Drinkers

http://www.planet-tea.com/preparation.html

I didn't realize that pouring boiling water over the green tea would cook it!

"(Boiling water usually takes between 30 and 60 seconds to cool to this temperature.) Never use boiling water to prepare your white or green tea. Water at this temperature will "cook" the leaves and destroy the tea and its flavor, creating a bitter tasting tea. "

That would explain why I thought it was bitter. Tried this tonight and sure enough, the tea was much sweeter and not bitter.

w00t!
