Wet leaves: freshly cut grass, vegetal, similar to sencha (?)
Forgot to take photo. Looks just like sencha.

Heavy steep; I taste/ smell: (smell) nothing recognizable. (Taste) slight grass. Light metallic (iron) note: I thought this steep was going to be super bitter. however, it’s super weak.
All in all a unique tea. Not the best, but tasty none the less. I rate a 75.
Side note: does anyone know? Is this supposed to be Chinese sencha? It sure tasted like sencha.
