The taste of this tea was light, sweet and vegetal with just a hint of ginger-like spice. Overall it was a much milder tea than I expected but it was still very tasty. I’ve never experienced tumeric in a tea before but I found it to be a pleasant addition. There was no bitterness or astringency. I would not recommend using any kind of sweetener with this tea. It was so mellow that sugar, honey or agave would completely mask the taste of it. Although they were packaged in pyramid sachets, the leaves were large and mostly whole. I appreciated that the strings were not coated with wax as I have often seen other companies do. There is nothing worse than getting a film of wax on top of your tea because the string fell in. I never would have thought of pairing tumeric with sencha but it worked very well.
