Smooth Tea: Non-Bitter Loose Leaf Tea

"Smooth Tea is Lorantea's low-friction collection for drinkers who want rounded body, gentle astringency and loose leaf tea that is easier to brew well."

This collection is for people who have tried tea and found it too bitter, too sharp or too difficult to brew. Smoothness comes from both product choice and brewing control, so the best starting point is a forgiving tea with rounded body and gentle astringency.

Start with white tea, gentle green tea, mellow oolong or ripe pu-erh if you want a softer cup. If a tea still tastes bitter, reduce water temperature, shorten steeping time or use less leaf before changing the tea entirely.
