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?
