Served in a Starbucks. I was impressed with this for a tea bag, but it really did not compare to the majority of the loose-leaf green tea I buy.
Aroma was a bit muddled, vaguely toasty, fairly vegetal, and with only a hint of grassiness. Warmer, and less crisp and refreshing than I like. I like Zhejiang greens and this was definitely a step up from most Chinese green tea in teabags, but it was step down from even the average loose-leaf green tea I've had from a number of companies
I strongly prefer the newer, full-leaf version of this in sachets, which is now served in Starbucks. It's more expensive but I think it's markedly higher quality.
