I’m VERY turned off by the smell of this tea. At first, before steeping, it’s like a grass smell, which isn’t the best, but it gets worse after that…then, once steeped…it’s smells kind of like a skunk….ewww! The coloring is a typical green tea color but with a some cloudiness. The taste isn’t THAT bad but I certainly have had better. For once, I really can’t get past the smell…sorry
