i'm a big fan of this company's cheaper premium green tea, which is smoky and rich to my palate, so i had high hopes for this higher-grade offering. it was a pleasure to unbox and open the sealed bag within the tin, and i was intrigued by the pumpernickel notes that arose for me from the long beautiful leaves. unfortunately, brewing brought out canned vienna sausage notes, or less-than-fresh fish, on top of said pumpernickel bread. i like weird, and it's an interesting-enough weird that i have to give it some credit, but i regret not having spent the money on the goodness of a 16-ounce tin of its lower-grade relative instead. i'll update this if i find a way to brew it in a more-favorable way.
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.
i ordered oolong, green, and jasmine tea leaves. the leaves were so dry it took two times brewing to get flavor. after i got to reading the package which is all in chinese except one place under a sticker. if you peel the sticker off, it gives you warning that it may contain cancer causing chemicals.the company does not allow returns. so i will just throw all three away!
i decided to try this tea because it's around 1/2 the price of the tea i normally buy. big mistake!the smell of the tea when i first opened the bag was very good. but i noticed immediately that there were quite a few stems mixed in with the leaves. i've included a picture of this tea in picture one. the third picture is of another brand of tea that i buy on amazon that i included for comparison.the color and aroma were good after steeping. my biggest problem is this flavor is markedly weak compared with other brands i've bought on amazon.i tried to return this, but it's not eligible for return! now i have a big bag of inferior tea that i'm not going to drink. i should've known better. you get what you pay for.update: the seller gave me a full refund for the tea.
