Method: 1.5 tsp, 182 degrees, grandpa style
Dry Leaf Aroma: lightly floral with a hint of seaweed
Brewing Aroma: The seaweed is gone, and there's a very quiet floral scent. I can also detect what smells like a buttered spinach.
Flavor: This tea has a very pleasant mouthfeel, soft and buttery, with minimal astringency. The buttery spinach comes through in the flavor, also. There are some indeterminate florals, but none of the fruits from the description. The tea doesn't taste bitter, but I wouldn't call it sweet either. I think mellow is a good word.
