It’s interesting, the directions for steeping on the packet are different in French vs English. The French instructions give a temp 90C (which of course us in the USA struggle with converting) and give a range of 3-5 minutes to steep. The English instructions suggest hot water and 4+ minutes for steeping.
I used water just under boiling and steeped for 4. I will finish this mug but only so I can write it. The rest of the bags are going in my “anyone else but me” pile. I find it tastes like burned rice. I guess it could be called grassy but not in the way I like. It’s rather bitter so perhaps the water was too warm or perhaps 4 min was too long. I have tried this tea before and don’t remember being excited about it then either.

That’s strange!
Agreed! It was just bizarre and so icky! I don’t think it was user error but possibly contributed to the off putting taste
