Brewed according to the instructions on the package, I found this tea very mild. I tried brewing it gongfu, which produced a very astringent tea reminiscent of ‘gunpowder green.’ I got a lot of steeps out of it, but none of them were terribly good. It was best Japanese style, but still not my favourite – very bitter, a tad nutty, a tad vegetal. It tasted like a slightly more complex gunpowder green.
