Kendall’s Teaview Snapshot
 | "This is definitely the strongest tea I’ve ever tried but it wasn’t the awful mess I expected from the scent. In fact, it had a very hearty green tea flavor, with no bitter overtones whatsoever."

Truthfully, the odor of the unbrewed leaves turned me off completely. It was reminiscent of old burnt logs or mossy earth. These scents might be wonderful when you are camping out in the woods but I found them difficult in a tea.When I poured in the hot water, the scent became overwhelmingly strong. My coworkers even commented. One thought that the coffee roasting house down the street had burned a batch of beans. I found very heavy overtones of dark chocolate and hard wood.
I let the leaves brew for about three minutes and hesitantly took my first sip. What a surprise! This is definitely the strongest tea I've ever tried but it wasn't the awful mess I expected from the scent. In fact, it had a very hearty green tea flavor, with no bitter overtones whatsoever. I would drink this tea on a cold, rainy day but it is not for the faint of heart. Once the tea steeped for about four minutes it became far too bitter to drink.
