Just wanted to give a big thumbs-up to O-Cha.com for expanding the organic lineup significantly! I hope - given supplies allow it - this can be kept up throughout the year.
I'm really tempted to purchase right now, but "unfortunately" I still have too many unopened teas in the fridge at the moment.

Also, the way you're handling the reintroduction of Shizuoka tea makes me confident that I can drink it safely.

The only thing that still feels a little weird is seeing the Fukushima address on your packages. In reality, there might be nothing to be afraid of but it'll be a long time until Fukushima loses that stigma in the public consciousness.

O-Cha has really offered up a nice assortment of new organics. And yeah, good to see the Shizuoka entry!

I asked Kevin about the newest offering Kanayamidori which is true shincha/sencha at 12.35 USD. He said don't be fooled by the low price, it is really good. He is simply passing on the great deal he got to customers ... but do not expect this one to stick around long. Once it's gone, it's gone.

That makes 6 organics under 20 USD per 100 grams! And one at 20 and change.

I noticed O-Cha.com has many new teas in their lineup that look quite intriguing.
I just wish you could buy their teas in 50 g bags.
I'd buy twice as many teas and would gladly accept a higher per gram price for a 50 g bag.

I see that O-Cha is having a sale on some of their teas, both high and low-end ones:

I'm not sure if this sale is in addition to the recent offer for newsletter subscribers, though I presume so.

Forgot these guys had expanded their organic range. Just had the postman drop off some Kagoshima Organic Sencha.

Very smooth with a long after taste that lingers for ages, very enjoyable!. Really looking forward to working my way through the range.

Great service as well.

Interesting video of a shiboridashi to be carried by O-Cha being made.
