If you often have an intense bitter taste, you are not preparing it the right way. The reason behind why your green tea tastes bitter can be simply because you are using the wrong type of water to make tea.
If you are using tap or distilled water, let us tell you that you will never be able to get the right tea flavor with this water. This is because the minerals and chemicals present in the tap/ distilled water react with the green tea’s chemical compounds, resulting in a bitter taste.
Distilled water is also known not to release the flavor and taste of the tea, and this is probably the reason tap and distilled water are not right for preparing green tea. Hence, pure, filtered, or spring water is the tea when you have to make green tea.
