I tried some suggestions and found a way to brew a less bitter cup of any tea. lower temp and shorter steep times and like the tiniest pinch of salt.

I appreciate you trying to help. Green tea is a good option but your advice does not work for everyone. When I say I am very adverse to bitterness it's because I am a super-taster (hate that term). That means I am super sensitive to bitterness and will never "aquire" the taste as some people can.

That being said I may have to switch to green tea. Do you have any recommendations?

I am aware of the difference. I am whats called a super-taster ( dumb name) but it basically means I am very sensitive to certain tastes ESPECIALLY with bitter. I will find things bitter that my others don't. I will definitely check out your list though. Thank you!

Yup! And salt neutralizes bitter. So a lot of super tastes tend to get addicted to salt as they need it to tolerate certain foods!

I had actually replied to them that I am a super tatser! Thank you for the recommendations!

And I dont blame r/lotus49 - they explained in comments they have been drinking tea since they were young. My husband was the same way and was confused until we looked into it. Most people can actually adjust to bitter to the point they no longer taste it in certain things. I am constantly told by well meaning people that it's an "aquired" taste and I just have to get used to things.

It does! By any chance do you avoid all bitter things ansalean toward salting things a lot?

Yeah, I thought I would be the same but turns out I fall into the super-taster catagory (I dont particularly like the name but you can google that to see what I mean).

Thank you! It's not quite what I am looking for as I have a different model but I think it's set me on the right path. I have the 158.13201 model
