The dry teabags have some tea aroma, which is a step up from many decaffeinated black teas. It's earthy, but not strong and reminds me of stale cocoa.

The brewing tea smells almost roasted and smoky and again reminds me of weak cocoa. There's also a hint of cooking noodles. The aroma is OK, but it still isn't quite what I expect tea to smell like.

Little bitterness and no astringency, but weak flavor that doesn't really taste like tea. It tastes a bit earthy with dry vegetal notes, like straw or dry corn stalks. If I was tasting this blind, I might guess that it was chamomile. It's not any worse than most other decaf black, though, and it's quite a bit cheaper.
