The leaves are so dark green! They were quite small too but really expanded upon brewing. Everything about this tea is GREEN. The look, the smell, and especially the taste. To me, it tasted quite a lot like edamame, which I enjoyed. However, each sip ended with a really harsh astringency that I was not a fan of at all. Maybe I screwed up when I brewed this? I won’t rate it in case I did. Thanks to Virginia for doing so much to help me broaden my tea horizons :-)
The temperature of your water was too high, this is better at 70 degrees for 2 min
The David’s site lies! I’ll try it at 70C next time. Thanks :-)
