when i first tried this i was pretty disappointed, but i was just guesstimating on the temperature. after getting a thermometer and using the recommended temp it was quite an improvement. the wet leaves have a very strong vegetal smell, almost off-putting but the liquor does not have the same intensity. it is an enjoyable green tea, especially considering the price.
