The biggest difference I've noticed in this is the size of the particles. This is tightly rolled "pellets" according to the listing, which will definitely explain why it expands so much while brewing. I can put a teaspoon of dry tea in the infuser and when I'm ready to drink it, it has expanded to 4 or 5 times that amount in wet leaves. So this is great if you have an infuser that allows it to uncurl properly, but if theres not enough room, I'm not sure if it will brew properly. I'm honestly not sure how this works.
I have also noticed a huge difference in the energy levels this gives me. I have completely stopped drinking coffee and switched to this. I have more energy, it goes down easier, I don't get that gross sweaty feeling that coffee gives me, and I just feel "cleaner" overall. I am officially a fan of Green Tea!
I did not like the taste at first as it was much more bitter than the kind I had been drinking, but I've found that if I add a small amount of high quality honey into it, it brings it down a notch and I really enjoy it. I'm incredibly happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it!
Almost forgot to say that it would be a good idea to find a good airtight container to store most of this until you need it. I've moved about 2/3 of this bag into a container to keep it from going stale or losing nutrients. Its a big bag.

Update: pretty good results with 10gm leaf / 250 gm water, 80C. Wouldn't go hotter as that will increase extraction of (bitter) catechins, whereas amino acids like theanine extract optimally at 80C.

It took a few tries of different steeping times and the amount of tea in the tea ball before I found the taste I love.
So my suggestion is if you don't enjoy it the first time, make adjustments and try again.
I surely noticed how much more fresh this stuff is compared to your run of the mill bagged teas.
Found myself wanting to go to bed early so I could wake up earlier to enjoy a cupa this sooner... so nice. The lemon flavour compliments the green tea well, and I am sure the ginseng is adding even further health benefits.
Between the taste, the health benefits, the quality, and the price at this volume, I have not regrets. Highly recommended.
The only "nitpick" I have, is that it would be nice to have some idea of how much caffeine is in this (mg per 8oz brewed)-- but no biggie, once again, green tea contains things that curtail the ill effects of caffeine, so I guess that number would be misleading for most people anyhow.
