The aroma of this tea is a blend of vegetal and kelp, mixing seaweed, lettuce, and spinach with a distinct vegetation aroma. The leaves smell like food and nature. The wet leaves smell like a blend of kelp and kale with a spritz of citrus and a surprise note of teaberry. The liquid sans leaves smells vegetal with a finish of copper.
The taste is sharp and vegetal, mixing lettuce and kale with a hint of citrus and a finish of smokiness.
