The bright yellow infusion has a savory, nutty, and edamame-like aroma. The taste is green, nutty, and sharp with a nutty green finish followed by floral notes.
This was only the second opportunity I've had to drink infused Camellia sinensis flowers. The aroma reminded me so much of a traditional sencha that I was honestly surprised by the sharp flavor notes in the first sip. While the recommend water temperature was 194° F, I most enjoyed the results from brewing this tea at a slightly cooler 176° F.
