Despite how intact the leaves are, the tea is translucent with little white suspended bits and the actual sediment on the bottom is green. They don't specify the steaming, but it looks light steamed.

The smell is faintly of grass clippings yet the flavor isn't at all. It's exactly like wakame. Oceany. Really UMAMI. Surprisingly so. I have gyokuro that's less savory. Very mild bitterness that's hard to notice. The astringency isn't so bad at first but by the time I've finished the cup I'd say it's like 4/5 briskness.

I'm following the package instructions. It suggests three steeps so two more to go.
