This tea was quite expensive and it doesn't smell all that good. Especially the used leaves smell pretty bad. I still haven't figured out how to make this, but I use relatively little leaf and don't steep it for long. The result tastes all right, though. The colour of the infusion isn't very bright, a slightly dirty yellow. The leaves look beautiful, though. I love the elegantly curled dry leaves and I like how you can see the white hairs on the used leaves once they're dry.

EDIT: I tried brewing it with a lot more leaves for a slightly shorter time. Now the best part of the flavour/aroma, a kind of vegetal brightness, is much more pronounced. I updated the rating accordingly.
