Finding a variety of Bromley teas at a Holiday Inn Express in Nebraska, I figured to try a few, both there (which had good water) and on the well water at home. This one was a winner, probably the best motel-obtained green tea I've had, and up there with several decent loose-leaf Chinese green teas.
The dry-bag aroma was weak, but the tea's smell and flavor both lit up nicely in-cup. A little bit of experimentation with a few bags showed that steeping this about 3–4 minutes works to bring the flavor potency up nicely, before bitterness starts to get excessive in the 4–5 minute range, and that it is tolerates boiling water just fine.
Its taste reminds me of a slightly more bitter and somewhat savory version of matcha-supplemented Japanese green tea, and similarly, mildly grassy in a good way. This "gunpowder" tea had no smokiness I could detect, which is fine with me. Oddly, but to my liking, it tailed off into the aftertaste with a hint of a tropical tree fruit such as guava. The flavor level is strong enough that no one taking a blind taste test should doubt this is foremost a pretty stout green tea.
