oh wow, this tea is GREEN. the dry leaf is bright green, the liquor is a dusky green, and the flavour, well, it is just a complex combination of all green and verdant tones possible! there’s grassy, asparagus, green beans, spirulina, all in a very brothy drink. there’s also a creamy fullness to it that satisfies. just plain good. if you’re craving green tea (yes you do, you know who you are), you can’t get any better than this! there is a tiny bit of astringency, but i’m adding that to the spirulina flavor in my mind.

Preparation
170 °F / 76 °C 0 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 6 OZ / 177 ML

Second steep, by the way, at closer to boiling and at 30 sec or so, was just as good. Not as bright bright green, it had definitely mellowed a bit. No loss of flavor, richness, or even color! I’d have gone for the third (etc.) steeping, but was getting late in the day for me + tea. Will start over tomorrow…love this stuff!
