The taste of tea is heavily dependent on how it gets brewed. Correct brewing temperature and time steeping play a huge role on making sure too many tannins aren’t extracted and it ends up tasting like hot garbage.

What you mean? Just dump the damn teabag in the hot water in your cup and a spoonful of honey.

Tastes like honey every time

The boiling water gets poured over the tea.

Don't forget the water quality itself. Plays a major role too.

Yup, green tea is great if you're not drinking factory floor dust and you haven't oversteeped it. If your tea is bitter and is leaving you with a dry mouth, something is wrong.

And if you don't leave it to infuse for too long. Unlike black tea that can be left to infuse indefinitely green tea gets bitter after few minutes.

left to infuse indefinitely

🤢

Absolutely not

Same could be said about coffee but I feel like people are more willing to forgive all the garbage coffee out there than the tea.

I enjoy a good high quality cup of either.

I can practically guarantee that people who say they hate tea haven't tried brewing any kind of loose leaf tea at the proper temp and time.

I got a 1kg brick of the cheapest loose-leaf black tea I could find for ~$3.50, and it's delicious. I drink it almost every day, I bought it in June last year, and I'm just now running low. I brewed a bag lipton black tea at work recently, took one sip and I dumped it the fuck out. Absolutely foul, that stuff.

So I can see why people hate tea if they've only ever tried cheap bags with boiling water
