Very solid, smooth tea! The vegetal scent and flavor reminded me of tea in Japan, and I appreciated the bright green tint of the water. I've enjoyed a few cups of it already, but want to brew it again tomorrow, then give a fuller review once I've really had time to sit down and enjoy it.
Update: A nice sitting down, fairly soothing tea. If the color deep green itself had a flavor, I suspect this would be it. I do detect a little bitterness that I'd prefer not be there, but it's one I could see being an acquired taste. Grassy is a good word for this one.
