Never? Very different flavor profile from LJ and other Chinese greens. My favorite is fukamushi, sweeter than other senchas but Gyokuro is tops for me. You should definitely try. Of course, if you make me choose, I say Chinese all the way.

Sadly, no. I'm dying to try more Japanese greens, but They're pretty hard to get here.

Yes, but that takes dollars, and I do not have any.
It's not so easy to order things online from here.

Can you use paypal in China? It automatically converts to US Dollars and Yen for buying from Japanese vendors.

I believe his problem is getting USDs into his paypal account in order to make the purchases. Most vendors in Japan will ship to China.

I put Canadian Dollars into my paypal account and when a make a payment paypal gives US dollars or yen to the vendor...paypal handles the conversion between currencies instantly.

That sucks....I was thinking it would probably be something like that...but I was thinking to ask anyway.
Are there problems converting other currencies to RMB? Most Chinese vendors that deal with westerners seems to take USD via Paypal.

Chip, I was wondering if the poll results here had any bearing regarding your choices for the upcoming 2 Sencha OTTIS?
