Although you asked for green tea, I got an oolong sample from Special
Teas last year that was distinctly (and for me, unpleasantly) fishy. It was
#611 Organic Fancy Formosa Oolong, if you're interested.

What causes the fishiness? Fertilizer? Was the tea dried around fish like
Lapsang Souchong is smoky and wood-scented when dried over a wood fire? I
know teas take on a fruit or flowery aroma and flavor if they're grown
nearby or if the tea is dried with flower petals, but it never occurred to
me that tea would be dried in close proximity to fish.
