Tastes...like lemongrass. There's a fair amount of astringency, which I could do without, but the aroma is wonderful and very strong. I've never had straight lemongrass tea before, although I've enjoyed it when it has been an ingredient in other teas, so it's hard to know what to compare this to...but I like it!
To my surprise, I was able to get a relatively tasty second infusion out of the leaves, even brewing as instructed. The first was 8 minutes, the second was about 15. It was noticeably weaker but still quite enjoyable.
