Thanks!
Any suggestions where I can buy it?

A lot of Korean greens remind me of Guricha which makes sense. That and Kamairicha.
I go out of my way to NOT recommend Yuuki-Cha due to my experience with this seller.
Asamushi can be obtained from many sellers including Maiko, O-Cha, Ippodo, Rishi, Den's.

The reason I recommended those teas was they seemed on the particularly light steamed side. Not all asamushi reminds me of Korean teas.

Are there any good vendors (of Korean tea) with world wide shipping?

I think Dao Tea Ships Internationally, and I rather enjoy their products, much more than the other option I know of whose ordering system I trust (Hankook).

Sorry, but it won't be. 2011 it's still a metal year.

Maybe it will be a good one for Tie Guan Yin.
