The good British clipper Yuuki-Cha sailed into Reading PA's port first with a payload of Organic Kagoshima Shincha Magokoro

God save the Queen ...

The new O-Cha Sae Midori is not far behind!

This shincha from Yuuki-Cha should be interesting actually.

Also, O-Cha will be offering their new Sae Midori any day now. I hope to have that in hand in a week or so.

OK, checking my list...
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

Seems impossible, doesn't it. Yet the owner is very impressed with it. I will just have to try both shincha and find out.

You might save some shincha money for the new o-cha gyokuro (Tsuru Jiru shi).

Haha Chip, I just ordered some of that too yesterday. I was picking up a set of tea canisters when I noticed one of their shincha was available. It'll be both my first organic sencha and first shincha to try!

I wonder if I should try any other vendors? So far I have o-cha and yuuki-cha.

Sold. :D I love how there's no shipping fees for tea on that site. Ok so I'm looking at 5 different shincha teas coming my way. I think I'm done. Unless I come into extra money of course. 8)
