Hopefully there will be some nice pics or even videos of tea tastings .

I hope you can join in sooner than later ... lots of great teas to share! :mrgreen:

It is a feeling that fortunately does not fade over the years, and I too love to see it in others as well! :mrgreen:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is still much to consider ... teas are still coming ... do I cut it off now and save those for the next OTTI Rounds.

Decisions decisions ... :mrgreen:

wow great idea!

I´m really interested in the shincha sample since I´ve never had good japanese green before (just fancy teabag grade stuff) and I´m pretty determined this year to try higher grade green teas...would be great to have a chance to try sincha from a couple of vendors instead of just one.

Very good question. I know there is a way to do this, though I have not done it. Of course you could easily sign up for a paypal.com account

It is so easy, even a teaman in a teacave can do it ...

LOL Okay, Mr. Teacaveman. (But I will stick to using the option of my own credit card with Paypal... bad experience in the past - glad Paypal now gives this option.)

I'm new to this forum and as it seems I joined just on time...

As many have said before, that's great idea and I hardly wait to expand my tea horizonts (I got a bit lucky the first time I ordered sencha - I have chosen Yutaka Midori from O-cha:))...

OK, since I am not a merchant, this would not be feasible at this time, unfortunately. Anyone w/o paypal will have to contact me to make arrangements. :cry:

Yutaka Midori is like initiation by fire in the realm of sencha! That is also my fave 4 years running ... BUT it might be dethroned by a new kid on the block that happens to be part of the shincha round!

Welcome to TeaChat!
