The smell of the brewed tea was fantastic. At a certain point it starkly reminded me of mugwort mochi! Herbal earthy and starchy is how I would describe the flavor as well.
I am still trying to perfect the best timings for brewing, since I usually drink darker teas. The way I steeped it, it still poured a very light color. I swear though, as the tea sat in my mug, it became a darker yellow over time!
