I used 1.5 tablespoons for 375 ml of water.
Detecting a licorice-like sweetness that tingles my tongue into the aftertaste. Pleasant swampy-vegetal taste that may be a little strong. I am strongly reminded of the scent of alfalfa hay. Very mild astringency. No bitterness. Sweet throughout. Slightly buttery. Overall refreshing flavour. Lemon notes present, reminding me of the taste of a freshly squeezed lemon in water.
Second infusion at 5 minutes. Flavours from first infusion are still present but softer. Smooth and buttery quality. Softer sweetness throughout.
Third infusion at 7 minutes tastes very similar to the first infusion. More vegetal-tasting.

“pleasant swampy-vegetal” eek!
It’s just that quality of white/green tea that I have come to love (and sometimes crave). I was quite pleased with the overall flavour and really surprised at the lemony taste- that is not something that I think I have ever experienced in a non-flavoured tea.
