The tea leaves have a beautiful, light green color. They are flat and have a crispness to them before steeping. The aroma is sweet, almost like that of matcha. After brewing, the leaves are full and soft. I brewed mine using a gaiwan, then sipped my tea out of a small tea cup. The hue is a pale greenish-yellow. The taste is vegetal and bitter, yet with a hint of sweetness. It has a smooth mouthfeel. The finish is dry, letting the taste pleasantly linger, like good company.
