Actually there are different ways to brew a non bitter green tea. Either you go for 70 to 80°C Water and let it sit for up to 3 min or you "wash" your tea. That is: You give a small amount of boiling water over the leaves, swig them around for two or three rounds and pour the "teawater" off. Then fill up with water and let it sip for the normal amount of time.
Green tea doesn't like boiling water and that is when it gets bitter, the heat discharges the bittern.
I am having a Pai Mu Tan flavoured with lychee blossoms that have been removed again. (Water heat for that one 75°C).
