[rosacea] Re: Green Tea- White Tea - quick brewing note

Hi KHM,

I think it might be the brand I was using for white tea, but I did
steep the tea with hot water, not boiling water and it was still
bitter. The green tea wasn't bitter when I use this method. I use
Clipper brand teas.

I very much like the idea of steeping tea in cool water overnight.
That's a good way of avoiding a flush from drinking a hot beverage.

Take care,
Matija
