Review of Japanese Green Tea

Wei-Chuan has several different tiers of tea and this one is on the low end.
The tea bag smells very faintly of hay. Adding the water doesn't really bring out any extra aroma. The flavor's almost as weak as the tea smells. While hot, the flavor is practically nonexistent. When it cools down, a little flavor appears that is grassy, slightly and quite pleasant. It's just really weak. Even grocery store green tea has more flavor.
It's cheap. I bought a box of 25 tea bags for $.99. This is some of the least expensive tea I've found, but in this case you absolutely get what you pay for and no more.
