This is my first loose leaf from the Den’s sampler, and already the greens are growing on me. The dry leaves here are a really rich emerald green color, and the liqueur is a pretty spring green. The flavor is green, of course, but a very savory/sweet richness; a little bit umami, I’d say. There is a hint of bitterness, but just a hint, at the beginning of the aftertaste. The lingering taste is sweet and mouthwatering.
This is delicious for what it is, but I’m not sure that I like greens enough in general that I’ll be buying a larger quantity yet. I’m trying, though!
3 steeps and counting, though they only suggest 2, all around 1 minute steep times.

Yeah you can definitely go more than 2 w/ most. So much so I find ditching them after 2 a waste.
I was really surprised that they only recommended 2, with such short steeps times, and will definitely keep trying more.
