Mugwort tea with soapy taste

I bought 200 grams of mugwort loose leaf and want to know if it is suppose to taste like soap. I put loose leaves in a tea infuser. I used 1 tsp of loose leaves should I use less or is it expired? When I smelled it the best I could it did not smell like soap, but earl gray tea. The leaves match the mugwort pics on Google but very dark green.

Welcome to Permies John! It’s great to see new folks on here.
Is mugwort related to cilantro? I know some people have the same issue with that herb?

No mugwort and corriander are not related, mugwort tastes FOUL to me it is so bitter I don't want to go near it. I don't think it's something anyone would drink on it's own by choice.

I don't mind bitter tea. Just want to know if it's supposed to taste like soap or if you mean by it taste foul, the foul is soap like taste? I took a good wif of it and smelled no trace of soap.

i’m a fan of mugwort tea. yes, it’s a little bitter. no, i don’t ever get any kind of soapy taste.

Nevermind the one I have is ok. I used less leaves and it taste bitter.
