The dry leaves gave off a very strong honey aroma. However, once steeped the sweetness disappeared. Instead it tasted of vegetation, rather like sipping a mouthful of cooked vegetables. The flavor was smooth, though there was a hint of bitterness and astringency.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I simply prefer sweeter or more floral teas, and this one just isn’t for me.
