When I sniffed the packet, to me it was more nori than grassy. I’m ok with that. Nori = good, in my books. I started off with a one minute steep, I find 30 s too light in flavour.
Taste, I get the grassy notes that other people found, but I also found a touch of nori and brussel sprouts at the end of the sip.
Second steep I let go for about 2 minutes and I found more bitter vegetables with some hay notes thrown in.
I like this quite a bit and will probably order bancha in the future. Thanks to Cameron B. for providing the delicious sample.
