I used 1.5 tablespoons for 375 ml of water.
The dry leaf smell reminds me of lemon meringue pie. The brewed tea has a lemon mixed with smoky aroma which I’m guessing comes from the lemon and green tea. There is a sweetness to the aroma which, I think, is coming from the marshmallow root.
On the sip I’m getting a bitter-celery-metallic flavour at the front which turns into a more lemony flavour.
As the tea cools, I’m getting a more smoky-lemon flavour and the bitterness is faded. I’m also detecting an enjoyable green tea aftertaste in the aftertaste of the tea.

I will try to keep my infusion time closer to 2 minutes in the future.
