Well then I'd say you done good! Now I'm going to have to place an
order, my fiance will thank you, I'll share my experience once I
receive it.

I'm no expert in decaffeinated teas, especially CO2. At first when you
mentioned "fresh cut grass" I instantly thought it may be Sencha... but
then the the black hue when brewed threw me totally off. I can't for
the life of me figure out how a green tea with a fresh cut grass smell
could brew a black tea color, not even if CO2 was involved in any way.
I'll have to do some research on this one, you stumped me. But, how
does it taste? That was the only thing you left out.
