Re: Coffee or tea, f!s?

I'm with you on this. Even if a tea is "supposed" to be sweet (like lemon iced tea or chai) I put the least possible amount of sweetner in it.

Tea is supposed to be bitter! Sugar ruins the subtle floral notes in high grade teas as well.

If your tea is bitter, you've over-steeped it.

disagree - most tea has a bitter taste in general, there are just levels of bitterness.

No, you're misinterpreting. Bitterness is not a discrete value, it's a spectrum. If your tea is strongly bitter, there may be an issue with preparation.

However, "bitterness" as a flavour compound is an attribute of the tannins which are produced in tea regardless of steeping time or water temperature. Thus, the quality of "bitterness" is an intrinsic property of tea, and to my mind it is a property of tea that one should embrace rather than attempt to mask.
