I also had to pick up a tea-ball as this didn't seem to come in bags. I just had a glass, and my first impression is I really like it. It has a fully, smokey, tangy taste. I added a bit of splenda to it, but I had a few sips without and it was almost as good that way. Has anyone else had this stuff before? Are there other similar teas out there? ←

Yes. Balls. Leaves are kind of large, maybe on the wider side... Smells like common tea... That's one of the things that got me thinking (beside gullet timeliness) as a podmate was espousing his ideas about green tea (is kind of a 'hot' topic 'round the 'cooler) and he opined that green tea, rolled into little balls can have ginseng in it (my box doesn't say anything in english) and is *really good for ya*. I dunno... But he was describing the tea in this fancy box under my desk... ← try some of the tea- u won't know if u like it if u don't prepare it and taste it-

describe the leaves- are they rolled into balls? are leaves short/long, wide/thin? does tea have an aroma? my suggestion is to try some of the tea-take 2tsp of tea and try it with 6-8 oz. of water at 190 degrees

---- I'll toss the first brew and drink the second brew. I've found that it tastes a bit mellower and smoother and less tannic. ←
