Very, very slight bitterness. So I add a tiny amount of stevia leaf extract powder (zero calorie sweetener) to offset the bitterness. You can get both stevia extract and granular lecithin at the larger Fred Meyer stores. However FM's brand of lecithin (Naturally Preferred) is only available as

*coarse* granules, which has terribly slow dissolution in hot tea. Get Now Foods #2280 lecithin fine granules at

Are they pre-sweetened?

Lord, no. Japanese don't put sugar in Chinese or Japanese teas. But coffee and India tea, that's another matter.

I believe you are talking about Jasmine Pearls. Jasmine Pearls are a form of Jasmine Tea, which is a mix of Green tea and Jasmine Flowers

I am fairly new to the tea world so there is a chance I am wrong about this. I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents with a disclaimer.

So I should crack a raw egg into my tea if it's too strong?
