I found this tea to be underwhelming. It wasn’t unenjoyable, just typical, expected. It tasted much like a standard bagged green tea to me without many defining features. It was grassy and astringent.

This tea is very mild and light in color. It is pleasantly sweet. This seemed very similar to a sencha to me.

This was quite a nice black tea. It was very smooth, slightly sweet, and had no astringency.

This tea was quite interesting. It was earthy, and almost leathery in flavor. It reminds me a bit of barns and country living. It was definitely smooth but difficult to place taste-wise. I will need to have this one a few more times to develop my feelings on it.

I liked this tea. It was quite robust and rich in color for a green. There was a slight but pleasant astringency. In terms of flavor I would describe this tea as grassy with a bit of smoke.

This tea isn’t my favorite. It just tastes rather flat and traditional to me. However, I understand its appeal in that sense as a classic base tea.

I really enjoyed the smoky flavor and smell of this tea. It was actually reminiscent of coffee or hot chocolate. It was nice and smooth while being full-bodied. It was not astringent or grassy.

This is a great green tea, especially for the price. It is very smooth and quite flavorful for a green without heavy astringency.

I found this tea to be smooth, yet very delicate for a black tea. I definitely used too little leaf… I will try to adjust that the next time I prepare it. I definitely pick up on the fruity and floral notes. Overall it is a very drinkable tea, but lacks anything of particular note to be memorable.
