I tried my first batch of green tea soap today and the color was far from what I was hoping for. The tea I used ended up greenish brown, and after it cooled and I added the lye, it was totally brown. I added some titanium white, and then some chlorophyl and finally managed to get more of an olive drab. (I really wanted a half light green and half deeper green color.) I do have some green tea that is a brighter green when steeped, but it is rather expensive. Plus I'd hate to use it and have the lye turn it brown.
Any tips?
