Green

Green tea smells fresh, slightly grassy, and delicately herbaceous—imagine steaming a cup of premium sencha and catching that initial vaporous breath. It's herbaceous without being medicinal, with subtle vegetal sweetness reminiscent of fresh-cut grass after rain, dried hay, and a whisper of subtle bitterness. There's an almost powdery, mineral quality that feels clean and contemplative. It's nothing like the floral sweetness of other florals; instead, it's crisp, refined, and vaguely astringent on the nose.

Green

Maté absolute smells like freshly brewed green tea with a distinctive grassy-herbal snap—imagine the vegetal greenness of crushed grass clippings mixed with dried hay, but sophisticated and slightly smoky. There's a subtle bitterness underneath, reminiscent of steeped tea leaves or the mineral earthiness you'd find in spring water. It carries an almost astringent quality that tingles slightly on the nose, reminiscent of bitter herbs or gently roasted plant matter. Not sweet, decidedly natural, and unmistakably green.
