What do you think the green tea added to the flavor?

Its very hard to taste. When I make again I'll add 2 more tea bags.

I want to gradually bring up the tea flavor instead of making it too strong for starters.

I would be interested in your evaluation of the flavor of your beer using green tea. Green tea provides 2 common off-flavors often found to be objectionable in beer. They are a green grassy note and astringency. Compared to a similar "control" beer, do you notice these notes in your test brew??

its why I used pilsner and aromatic malt since its a light flavor any how.

there is a very faint green tea taste, but its very light.

As far as astringency, I steep the green tea for only 12 minutes then remove the tea bags and not wring them out.
