Just put in an order from the top leaf tamaryokucha from mellow monk as well as Den's guricha. Hopefully this will get me through the holidays where I hope to get a matcha set and get started on that habit. =)
Mellow Monk has a promotion for free shipping in December, comes in handy!

My thoughts pretty much exactly, never going to replace the real deal sencha, but it is a good alternative to Chinese greens. I always felt it was better than most Chinese greens.greenisgood wrote:yeah, guricha was kind of a fad but i really like it. such a nice hand shake between japanese and chinese greens (much better than the dreaded chinese sencha).
I tend to want the guri more in the winter, seems like it is a warming tea maybe?
