Dry: Rich dark green tea leaves with a soft vegetal, almost sweet green tea aroma. I smelled a sencha after this one as a dry leaf and it is a very notable difference, with this one appealing significantly more to me.
Steeped: Lovely green, sweet, rich green tea. Clear yellow-green bright liquor.
Taste: If the aroma was nice, the taste is wonderful! Chlorophyll meets buttery sweetness. Almost the very slightest floral note at the end of each taste. This is what I wanted green tea to be when I first tried some of the others out there. It is both savory and sweet at the same time to my palate. 2nd steep was equally magical. Third steep starts tasting a touch diluted. Still, nothing needs to be added or changed- I love it just the way it is. The only unfortunate thing is that it is quite pricey for an every day tea, but worth it for something special. I have a birthday coming up and know what I will be asking for!
