I agree with pentox, stick to premium and above, they may seem a little bit more expencieve than other vendors, but on should always calculate shipping to the price too, and hibiki-an offers free shipping.
I tried their gyokuro super premium many times, even after harvest, and on at 6 month (mature) and one kuradashi, and their fukamushi super premium, and their premium sencha is well worth and is very good. When you buy from them you know you are buying single breed single estate tea, and 100% uji tea, not like from other vendors that blend uji tea with other grade and if it contains at least 50% they name it uji tea.
It is expencieve but a good way to learn about the caracteristics of tea breeds.
