Recommendation needed

by ummaya » Aug 19th, '09, 16:00

Since I started to drink green tea a bit more than a year ago, I have only tried these senchas (all from O-Cha.com) :

Uji Sencha Miyabi

Sencha Yutaka Midori

Fukamushi Sencha Supreme

Daily Sencha

I enjoy all of them (specially Yutaka Midori ) and the Adagio White tea sampler is on its way to my door mat but I would like to try other greens from other vendors. As far as I know Den's does not ship outside the U.S and Canada so it should be others. I prefer a relatively expensive/top of the line sencha than a cheap Gyokuro (which I have not tried yet)

Any recommendation ?

You should try an asamushi (light steamed) sencha.

Ujibashi san no ma (Tsuen sold by O-cha) or Warashina supreme (O-cha) and Ippodo Kaboku.

+1, you should certainly try some asamushicha.

My top 5, well 6 fave list in order currently out of approx 20 vendors I have tried that are at least trying to make Japanese greens a top priority ... and many more yet to try,

O-Cha
Zencha
Den's
Maiko
Rishi
Ippodo

TBH, I rarely try a new vendor based on a recommendation, I try to keep an open mind and try as many vendors as is feasible. I do however listen to members regarding bad experiences. But be willing to try just about anyone.

Thanks for the recommendation; a pack of Organic Asamushi Sencha "Warashina Supreme" on its way.
