This is one bright radioactive green tea in my mug! I was a bit worried that I used water that was too hot, but I think it turned out decently enough. This tea has a fairly strong flavor but it isn’t overly grassy. There is a nice, sweet seaweed note that denotes the initial taste followed by a smooth nutty flavor. The aftertaste is on the grassy side but since the rest of the sip is pleasant I’m able to deal with it. I don’t think I would drink this often let alone purchase it, but it seems to be satisfying my green tea craving tonight.
