Ito-en Sencha recs
I just finished my 2nd tin of Sugimoto USA sencha (seriously delicious) and now i need something new. I've never had any ito-en sencha, so any suggestions are welcome.
I actually have to place an order soon myself. They don't have all the in-store offerings up on the site, but they do have some of my favorites.
These two are intense, vegetal, succulent Kagoshima sencha's, and pretty affordable at 16.50 for 3 oz:
Chiran Kanaya Midori
Megami
If you have some $ to spend, their Uji Gyokuro is great.
I also recommend the Kawane Sencha, but its not on their website, so you could try calling them up.
And in late May or June, Shincha (first flush spring tea) Season, definitely try their Shizuoka and Kagoshima Shincha's, out of this world...

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll be in NYC for Spring break at the end of march and will definitely stop by the store.joelbct wrote:I actually have to place an order soon myself. They don't have all the in-store offerings up on the site, but they do have some of my favorites.
