Kevin told me they are releasing something called Fushun in the Limited Edition section. An organic 'sweet' sencha that he is recommending me to try. I guess I do like the sweeter greens.Chip wrote:So, you like the more specialty breeds it seems. YM is a good one and is only grown in Kagoshima I think. There are a couple other breeds worth trying.
O-Cha just added a new Limited Edition section as well, though they have not added any teas yet. Could be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves.

Re: First O-Cha Purchase
ooh nice! i'm glad this worked out for you.
i hope i find the ooigawa "supreme" more attractive than you found the lower grade ooigawa.
i've got an unopened bag of the supreme in the fridge.
so far, i've been quite impressed with the organic sinchas from o-cha this year. i've finished a bag okitsugawa supreme which was great and i'm now working on a bag of the okitsugawa miyabi which is good as well. the ooigawa "supreme" is up next followed by the warashina supreme to wrap up my organic sincha binge from o-cha. well, at least that's what i was planning... but now with this limited edition stuff...what is this?! fushun something? limited edition sweet organic sencha? oh man, maybe one more o-cha order.

I second this, especially with the ooigawa supreme which I found to be very nice and deliciousSmells_Familiar wrote:ooh nice! i'm glad this worked out for you.
