Karigane recommendations
What are your favorite kariganes, either sencha or gyokuro? I generally prefer the ones with a higher leaf to stem ratio. Thanks

I've only tried one so I don't have any basis for comparison, but last year's shincha karigane from Maiko was delicious.

Re: Karigane recommendations
Karigane is kukicha from shaded tea only. Also shiraore is often used to name kukicha, though shiraore is used only for teas from Kyushu (not 100% sure) i.e. Kagoshima, Yame, Saga. Might help searching.
