      I can’t comment on coffee. As for tea, it depends on the type and how you prepare it. To clarify, when I mention tea, I’m referring to tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. This includes green, white, oolong, black, heicha, and puerh teas. Anything not from the Camellia sinensis plant is called tisane or herbal tea.

      Green tea can be the most bitter, or the least bitter, depending if you make it well. You need to make sure its not boiling water, but water that’s around 80c.

      White tea is probably easier to make just make sure its not boiling water and it shouldn’t be bitter either.

      Then again if you’re calling something like lemonade bitter, a thing that has so much sugar I don’t really know if me telling you would even help.

        I don’t drink lemonade with much sugar, that would just make it sugar water.

        Idk, I’m no expert on tea. But I’ve had various people offer various teas to me I’ve the years and unless it was drowned in sugar, it’s never not tasted like bitter water to me.

          Aight, well the general public doesn’t tend to know how to make decent tea, but that’s fair enough .
