How to make a bad green tea drinkable

It depends on what grade of sencha it is- use the corresponding Den’s Tea’s suggested steeping parameters for the grade and adjust from there. If it is a Chinese Sencha, I would still suggest using Japanese steeping paramters. I’d start w/ regular grade sencha parameters and if that doesn’t work, pick a different one. If you can’t salvage it to your liking- there’s the Take it Away! thread:)

Bad tea makes OK iced tea, doesn’t it?

But I love the iced green tea you get in 500ml bottles in Japan and Hong Kong. I doubt they’re expensive tea, but they’re so refreshing! :o)

add milk and honey? or brew it with a real strong tea so you get the antioxidants while the taste is masked :)

I might recommend using a mortar and pestle to grind it up as matcha, and use it in smoothies, milkshakes, culinary adventures, etc.

I would suggest combining it with a fruit tea that you like, or using a flavored syrup.

I have some lower grade sencha that I’ve been making as iced tea and that works great. You could also try mixing it with another tea – something with citrus? This works for me when I have a tea I don’t like. Sometimes the mix works and sometimes not. One time I did it and ended up liking the blend so I had to buy more! LOL

Half anounce? Dump it. Life’s too short to drink bad tea. As you bring the cup to your lips, the virtue you will feel by using it up and saving money, or “learning your lesson”, will be offset by the bad karma you feel.
