On first impression, this very green tea not only looked like, but even smelled like grass. I was slightly sceptical. The variation I tasted was sweetened, but still had a lingering bitterness, not powerful, but similar to the taste I experience after mowing a lawn on a hot day. Everything about this reminds me of grass, yet somehow I find this enjoyable.

I was informed that this tea would be very strong, so strong that a suggested brew time would be about 10 seconds. I, on the other hand, brewed the tea for over 30 seconds (though this was the third or fourth batch made from my leaves). The tea brewed a deep brown color, and smelled, in my opinion, strongly of rice. The taste was a wonderful mix of bitter and smokey, like the sensation of drinking sweet tea after eating barbecue, and a floral sweetness. The after taste was reminiscent of the feeling of minty freshly brushed teeth. I thoroughly enjoyed this tea.

I brewed my tea a bit excessively (for about 10 minutes). I found the smell fragrant, somewhat sweet. The taste was robust; somewhat bitter, but with a subtle sweet aftertaste. The color was medium-dark yellow hue, and I found the astringency to be low.
