Too “tastes like ground leaves” for me

This is the first tea I’ve tried that I really haven’t enjoyed. It tasted as if I had taken sycamore leaves, dried, and made tea from them. (I’ve accidentally eaten part of a sycamore leaf before hence the comparison). EVERY other tea I have ever had from Zen’s Tea House I just love. This one just wasn’t to my taste.
