This is a rolled, green tea throughout the sheet. Manufacturer recommends quite a long steeping time (3 min) for tea. This of course creates a very light, subtly bitter taste, followed by fruity sweetness. I recommend to the amounts of the cup serving to reduce (per 200 ml cup of about 4 leaf). Of course, no comparison with the other commodity, of course is even better tea, but rather at twice the price! Here is true power.
