Greenish straw yellow in color. The aroma is a faint roasted brown rice. The first taste has the brown rice up front, mild, and a faint tea taste (but not bitter or green), or the tea and rice taste are hard to separate. There is a faint bitter, roasty aftertaste. There is not much here to taste, but nothing to object to, either.
I tried a 5 minute steep at 175F which did not result in a change or increase in the flavors.
I think this is a pleasant caffeine delivery tea without much to set it apart (or to complain about) Mild.
