The leaves give a champagne colored drink. The scent is somewhat fruity; sweet lime. Taste is light and quick. Fresh with some spinach. Very refreshing, possibly with quite a lot of caffeine (three cups were enough to give me an OD). Second steeping is rounder with a bit of grass coming through.

The label claims this tea to have a taste reminiscent of mandarin oranges. I, however, couldn’t quite detect that. There was maybe a very subtle hint of those behind an overwhelming aroma of fish, which persists in taste.
I tried steeping the tea leaves in a few different ways, but always ended up with the same result – maybe stronger or weaker on occasion. I very much prefer sencha.
