Luckily I did not notice the teabag itself adding any aroma to the tea, it is always so annoying when I can smell bag.\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste is at first that of kelp giving it an umami quality that is quite appealing, especially as it fades to a fresh grass sweetness in the aftertastes. Of course there is a midtaste in between, and it is a blend of spinach and kale, but without the bitter quality that kale has when raw. This tea is quite good for bagged tea and is, of course, the quality I expect from yunomi-jp.pro.
