# Notes Smell is sweet, somewhat roasted, and a little...malty? Flavor is light, a little sweet and pretty neutral. Steeped leaf _smells_ more astringent than the steeped beverage is, that's interesting. Subsequent steeps do turn up some astringency though along with earthiness that's not too objectionable. Overall a little bit harder to extract than I would guess. Late steeps a little bitterness emerges, not unpleasant. This gives it almost a kind of a cola vibe, in part?
