What gives hummus its tangy flavor?

What to add to hummus to make it taste better?

Why does my homemade hummus taste bitter?
Too much tahini, too much garlic, too much lemon juice or blending paprika directly into the hummus can impart bitter flavor. Also, when you blend tahini with olive oil, the oil can react to the heat of the spinning blades and take on a bitter flavor. Stir in olive oil just before serving.
