Taking into consideration both the health benefits you want to get from the Costco green tea as well as the enjoyment aspect, it\u2019s important to steep it well. \u00a0Getting the right balance of water against the tea bags is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When using tea bags, always monitor the steeping time. You want the flavor to be well balanced not too overwhelming and bitter. Three to five minutes should be enough steeping time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water that is too hot, isn\u2019t ideal for a hot brewed cup of green tea. If you steep for too long in the hot water, you\u2019ll end up with a whole lot of bitter flavor which isn\u2019t that bad, but definitely not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a cold brew, you need to use water that is not too cold. Ice-cold water straight out of the refrigerator is definitely not recommended. Room temperature water will do. As much as you are not going for really high intensity flavor, you also don\u2019t want flavor that is weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costco Green Tea Review - Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Green tea has, over the years, become very popular and a preferred option by many tea lovers, especially for those looking to lose weight. One more important note is that, just like any type of tea, it also contains caffeine, but in much less quantities compared to other caffeinated drinks. Too much consumption of caffeine is, of course never recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
