Bamboo leaf tea

My first years went out to a camping ground, to have a bbq. I saw them out there and one thing they gave me was kumazasacha. Bamboo leaf tea. It looked like a variety of green tea. And it tasted like hot water after green vegetables have been cooked in it. A vegetable-like, faintly grassy taste. It was ok. But it wasn't amazing. What made it good was the knowledge that my kids had picked the bamboo themselves and brewed it into tea. Here's a pic. There's so many kinds of tea in Japan, I'm always being surprised. :)
