Matthew N. ★★★★★

I’ve been steeping this with water just under boiling for about two minutes, and the broth comes out silky with that earthy, smooth finish the description promises. The handcrafted leaves unfurl beautifully, and there’s none of the bitterness I usually get from cheaper greens.

Edward Y. ★★★★★

The vegetal aroma hits you right as the water touches the leaves, and the taste stays smooth all the way down. Brewed it three times and each cup kept that earthy sweetness without turning bitter.

Carter G. ★★★★★

The shape of the leaves looks exactly like tiny snail spirals, and the liquor stays smooth and vegetal from first steep to the third. I'm surprised how earthy it gets without turning bitter, even when I accidentally left it brewing a bit too long.
