the tea has that fishy smell that is indicative of a poorly stored tea. it has a strong, bitter taste. like earwax bitter. it's not disgusting, it's drinkable. but i was disappointed.
upon opening the cake, i detected a fishy smell. after brewing it and taking a bite, i was disappointed to find it tasted like fish. it seems the cake wasn't stored or fermented properly.
my regular japanese green tea is out of stock. tried this as replacement. lordy it tastes awful. black dots inside rolled leaves. bugs? dirt? who knows. only the exterior leaf is whole, everything inside rolled ball is pieces of leaf. i followed instructions. smelled very vegetal. tastes horrible. do not recommend
although the tea did have a strong seaweed aroma and taste, the tea was overly bitter and burnt tasting with any brewing methods i used. cold brew and brewing at optimal conditions for green tea all lead to an undrinkable cup, disappointing.
i bought this for a change because i like green tea and wanted to try something a little more exotic. yuck. horrible. when it was brewing it made the whole room smell like cigarette ashes. it tasted the same. and it’s colorless.
smells like rotten fish, i won't even taste it. also there is no way to return and this company doesn't have any customer service email or number to get help from them so if you order and get bad tea then you're out of luck.
i received the cake today and immediately noticed a “fishy” smell as i opened the packaging. i brewed it normally and was dismayed to find a terrible fish-taste in my mouth. the cake was probably stored incorrectly during aging or fermented incorrectly. i hope i can get a replacement or something, because this tea is undrinkable.
i touched the wet leaf and smelled my fingers. only to be overpowered by a fishy aroma. not a pleasant smell. please ask your producers to improve their tea.
it seems that this is a tea from last year and lost all of its flavor. it doesn't have fresh tea smell before brewing, and it doesn't have much tea taste after brewing. will never buy any tea products from this company.
i wanted to try something new instead of my usual elitea, but this was definitely a mistake. the green tea i bought is quite low quality. it doesn't have a good aroma and tastes too earthy and bitter even if you steep it a little. seems they use the lowest grade bottom leaves.i'll have to go back to my nice tea and can't even return this stuff. money wasted :(
