The dry leaf aroma is sweet, green, and nutty.
The pale green liquor has an aroma of nuts, green beans, and edamame. The taste is nutty and almost sweet with fresh green vegetal and edamame notes.
I started out by following the preparation instructions on the package for the first two infusions, using 140° F water and steeping for 40 seconds. For the third infusion, I steeped the tea for 1 minute using 176° F water. The results at both temperatures were tasty with lighter flavor and slightly more nuance at the lower temperature and no astringency at either temperature. The first infusion was nuttier with fresh green vegetable-like notes moving forward by the second and full flavor continuing into the third.
This tea was purchased by me.
