Challenger is a really nice hop. Like I say Im not that good at describing hop flavours.Perhaps the green tea is just a note.

I think @Gunge is a big fan of challenger. I cant remember whether he likes it just for bittering or likes it as a flavour/aroma hop too

Edit Rat's_eyes describes challenger flavour as herbal. I'd defiantely agree with that
No worries I find them hard to describe as well. Mostly fruity, really nice or cack.
I remember using it to bitter a Lager with saaz.. Worked well. Had forgotten that.

I've always thought challenger was similar to EKGs which is why they work together so well.
