Shout Out For My Sis For Giving Me Some - Tumblr Posts

Guys my sister gave me some of her very expensive green tea. Apparently it's from some mountain whose name I can't remember for the life of me.

Now you might be wondering why I posted this. The thing is:

it smells like Seaweed .

It tastes wonderful don't get me wrong but it caught of guard so badly. Now this isn't the first time this happened. Some time ago I got some bubble tea with my siblings and my poor brothers tea smelled and tasted like Seaweed (For anyone wondering it was a roasted Oolong tea (probably???)) Does anyone of you know why that could be? Could it be because it might be roasted?
