Was the English any good? I did the translation work for him on his product lists recently. :lol: If it was just a few weeks ago, it should have included my corrections...

Anyway, why did we jump to temomi?
The second photo was not related to the Japanese tea in the first photo, correct? Without context, we cannot say whether this full-leaf tea is even Japanese, or perhaps Chinese... Oh well, I guess Yemstar just wants tea that "looks like that after brewing." I would just as soon recommend a nicely rolled Chinese green like biluochun.

As for the tea in your first photo, Yemstar:
The two bagged packages in the middle are from Yamamotoyama. One is sencha combined with matcha, the other is sencha with a bit of gyokuro leaf thrown in. The box to the left of these is from Iemon. Dunno if that helps...

Goku is very humble. His English is probably far better than he gives himself credit...

I have never seen tea that looked like it after brewing before so just wondered how i could get my hands on tea that was full leaf. I wasn't really looking for that EXACT tea. Sorry if i didn't make that clear. :(

Anyways, that whole area of tea is new to me, but i am VERY interested.

The full leaf picture was actually taken by Iannon, so i'm sure he knows :lol:

Can't wait!
IMO that is the worst of the yuukicha asamushi.

Haha, it arrived this morning and i kinda see what you mean. Though, in its defence i did use a little too much leaf. At the moment i still prefer sae midori from o-cha.
