Had quite a bit of fun with a camera today while enjoying my morning tea.
It was Yame Gyokuro from O-cha

Not quite currently, but Started off the day with Yame Gyokuro from O-cha, and ended my tea day with Sencha Superior from Hibiki before dinner.
All in all a good tea day.

Some Zebra Sencha gotten from a place around here. Tastes alright for the cost, was cheap. Probably wouldn't buy again, but curiosity on sencha from Africa sated for the moment.

How do you like O-chas Genmaicha?Nenugal wrote:I'm enjoying a tall glass of O-cha's Genmaicha with matcha.
Before that I had a nice session of Tawaramine Shincha from Palais des Thés.
My Chinese office-mates were very interested in the genmaicha, but ended up concluding after seeing and tasting it that it is "soup, not tea".

Fall 2010 Harvest, Kagoshima Sencha. Deep dried seaweed umami... chewy!
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
I think it is very tasty and I enjoy it a lot, but it is the first time I buy fresh genmaicha directly from Japan so I don't know how it compares to the offerings of the other popular Japanese webshops.jmreeves wrote:How do you like O-chas Genmaicha?Nenugal wrote:I'm enjoying a tall glass of O-cha's Genmaicha with matcha.

This one only comes in a big 200 grams package which is a bit much since I tend to have quite a number of different teas open at once. However, o-cha also sell an organic genmaicha with matcha in 90 g packages that I'll probably try next.

Honyama kabusecha from Yuuki-Cha. Very sweet/thick liquor.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Another wonderful session of O-Cha's Yame Gyokuro went a bit heavier on the leaf today and was quite nice, though I slightly oversteeped the first infusion.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Since I'm all out of my green oolongs, I am drinking the last of the Togei kabuse sencha from the OTTI 7. It is so good, I actually think it is my favorite of the bunch.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
O-cha's 7132 this morning and now finishing the day with Yame Gyokuro. Wonderful green filled new years day.

Liu An Gua Pian from Seven Cups - I enjoyed this more than when I first opened the bag and now I have enough left for only 3 cups. This might be on my list for the 2011 harvest.
