The question
What temperature and how long should I steep green tea so it isn't bitter?
To avoid bitterness, it is best to use water that is well below boiling and a shorter steep time.
- Temperature: Aim for 160°F to 175°F (70°C to 80°C). If you don’t have a temperature-controlled kettle, you can let boiling water sit for about 2 to 3 minutes before pouring it over your leaves.
- Time: Steep for 1 to 2 minutes.
Bitterness in green tea often comes from the release of tannins, which happens more quickly when the water is too hot or the leaves are left to soak for too long. If your tea still tastes a bit strong, try reducing the steep time to 45 seconds or using slightly cooler water next time.
