For a basic green tea this does the job nicely for me. I lower the time I heat the water and keep steeping at about 2 minutes. Comes out smooth with no bitter aftertaste. Another easy one to make since I don’t feel the need to add any sugar or cream. Haven’t really “branched out” in the green tea world, with the exception of Candy Cane Lane decaf green and don’t really feel the need to. Although I am curious about the Celestial Seasonings that are blended with white. Sounds appealing. Now I’m talking myself into branching out. Must be this website’s influence :)
