I must say, I understand the aversion that many people have to tea with the crap that they generally try of the bat.

Some recommendations for not-gross tea:

-Avoid bagged if you're having a proper (ie, made with the camelia sinesis leaf; which is white, green, oolong and black) tea. (It's just teh gross and usually awful quality) Herbal teas are usually okay bagged. (But herbal tea isn't 'real' tea; just boiled fruit and flowers or herbs)

Find a good loose tea leaf (health food stores and tea specialty shops should carry them) that looks or sounds or smells appealing to you, and use a tea basket (strainer) to filter it preferably.

-Don't EVER allow your water to boil. EVER. (unless it's herbal) Tea leaves are fussy and will go very bitter on you if you scald them. 170 degrees should be the temperature for green. Black tea can withstand up to 195. The rule is, let the water get hot enough to steam, but not bubble.

-Don't steep it for too long. With black tea, 2-4 minutes. With green tea, you usually shouldn't let it go for more than 60 seconds.

-Don't sweeten green tea.


Have fun. <3
