I found this video after I made a cup of green tea with a teabag and boiling water. I then let it steep for 4 minutes as I do with black tea. Very bitter and not nice. I now know where I went wrong. Thank you Mr Mie Leaf, you are clearly an authority on tea making.

using loose leaf green tea is such a game-changing! I start to drink green tea since I was a teen purely to lose weight lol. of course I started with the tea bag and it tastes horrid! very bitter and dark in colour. but I keep drinking for the perseverance of losing weight. then I try loose tea leaf and damn I feel like I have found a whole new world. it tastes very delicate and just how a green tea supposed to taste. I never watch how to brew green tea properly but I watch this just to gain knowledge. somehow after many years, I did it right without any guidance, I'm proud of myself! after a decade I still drink them and no more bitter taste! my friend hates it and she said she has to add sugar 😖

Get a water boiler where you can set the temp! Best money I ever spent to make my tea drinking more pleasant.
Got modes for 40, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 degrees. Its neat!

I've been drinking 3 quarts of iced green tea a day for a few years. I cold brew it at least 6 hours in the refrigerator, never with hot water. Cold brewing doubles the catechins and halves the tannins and caffeine. No bitterness, no Sweetener needed.

After watching you for a few years I rewatched this and I love how much you’ve evolved in your video techniques 😊

Bang on. Good green tea brewing is very much about finding the right temp for the individual tea leaf. Keep the good videos coming!

I've been drinking green tea since I was teenager. I am addicted to it. Can't start my day without my green tea. Thank you for your informative videos!

Oh my god..You brew that tea about a few seconds... I actually brewing my tea for 5 minutes or so...

I shall start trying this, I suppose..

SO AWESOME!! LOVE HOW YOU GO INTO SO MUCH DETAIL!!

Thank you for your guides to tea brewing, I find yours to be the most effective and informative.

Another, imo huge, parameter of tea brewing is the water itself. Compare filtered/bottled water to tap water... I did once and never brewed with tap water again. It ruins taste and even looks. I think water should be as neutral as possible to be a medium for our good tea.

Seven years later and you're still helping us out. I'm practicing with an Azores green tea I picked up in Portugal. A wonderful game. :)

Thank you for teaching me how to make green tea i use to make the water boil and use right away

[lornalisa]

Thankyou so much for the help, I brew mine with hot water direct form the kettle and it comes out brown and bitter. Trust me this has been a blessing from God. I have very little to no stomach issues when I drink this. ill continue doing this as I am trusting the process. awesome video.

[kristencasto]

in last 6 months i starts drinking tea, and green tea is one of my favorite. but sometime i can't stand for its bitterness. thank you for guiding me to brew in 80 degrees, and use chinese way which only takes 10 seconds. now my green tea taste so good and even my friends really like it. the taste is not bitter at all. Don May you are the best on these!

[acexprt]

It makes perfect sense. One way you are over cooking the tea. I’m excited to try this

[michelhedley]

Very good camera and audio work makes well presented and helpful video.

[urpoche]

I have a suggestion for a video. The different types of clay for Yixing zisha teapots.

I like the video, very informative. For a black tea drinker, my first time to do green tea. I used a lot of tea leaves; so I think I did it the Chines way, and it is a Chinese green tea as the seller told me ....
