It had a pleasant, roasted taste. A bit cocoay, actually—reminded me of Dawn.
Packaging said boiling, five minutes, even though this’ is a green tea, but I didn’t have access to the internet when I made it initially, so I figured maybe the roasted nature of it allowed you to brew it at boiling. So I did, and got no bitterness.
I’m not sure if I actually like it or not, but it was certainly a very DIFFERENT tasting tea.

My notes are pretty disjointed because I’m absent-minded, and I also keep a teatra.de blog for reviewing and rambling about tea books/publications, and an instagram for photos. Expect nerding about tea production and history on both.
