Starch. Interesting tea. This smells just like sweet potato! I actually had some chicken with this tea, and it was a nice complement. The flavor is really strong and had a sweet taste to it. It is VERY starchy, and it left a starchy aftertaste in my mouth. One that is similar to after you’ve swallowed down a piece of sweet potato. One of the things I didn’t like was the weird, dark film. It looks slimy and gross.
This was a fun tea to try. I’m always interested in trying new things! I don’t know if I’ll reach for this often though.
I also felt this tea was unique but it grew on me. However, did not get the film you were referring to.
