Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Yunnan's Mao Feng. OK for an every day tea but no match against the power of a wet wind dragon well which I yet have to taste...but I can imagine as a common "mortal" what the experience would be like. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Right now, after work, i'm drinking "shoufuku no haru" a very limited matcha from Maiko.
The taste is very different compared to all the matchas i tried yet. but its very delicious. i'm glad i made this investment.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
I'm working on some Gyokuro right now... trying to undo the holidays with extra tea... here is to hoping it works.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Hey what a coincidence, that's what I'm drinking right now as well! (Den's fukamushi)
I'm currently drinking through my second (and last) samples of the taste-testing rounds #7 and #8 -- sencha fuka and asamushi.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Went from sencha-less to sencha-more in a day! The TeaFridge says, "thank you!"
Been doing some prelim tastings of sencha from a new vendor for me, Umami-Chaya. YM, a sencha from Sayama, an organic, and another 7132 varietal offering (had the organic 7132 from O-Cha which was outstanding).
Also a sample from a member of OkuMidori from TeaGallery.
And another sencha from a new vendor for me ... also from member, Myou Jyou from GreenTeaJapan.
Whew, a busy 2011 so far!

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
I'm having a Spring '10 Yuuki-cha kagoshima sencha saemidori. Age makes it less bright with a pleasant sweetness and a touch of toastiness. It's also very potent stuff - too much leaf and you have to split one cup into two to keep the overhwhelming bitterness and umami down.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
I'm drinking Jiu Hua fo cha from teaspring today. Its noticable that its not at its freshest due to being several months from harvest but is still very delicious. I can't wait until spring.

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Well, still checking them out.Stentor wrote:How did you like the new vendors' teas, Chip?
The TeaGallery OkuMidori is very interesting, one time more veggie, next time more fuka-like.
Umami-Chaya:
The YM has a really nice YM dry aroma, but have not nailed it yet.
The Sayama is quite bold and different.
Yama No Ocho is a pretty good organic, I can manipulate the results to my tastes at any given time ... this morning made it more veggie and bold with hotter water.
7132 is very interesing, quite cherry, this is supposed to be inherent to this 7132 varietal. The O-Cha version (organic) is more dried fruits evolving to cinnamon raisin bread, rather complex. This one is simply very cherry.
And Myou Jyou from GreenTea-Japan. Quite veggie and to my liking as I have been craving veggie sencha.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
Shin Shun Seiun matcha from Ippodo. Special New Year matcha. Very rich, smooth, and, superfine foam. Another outstanding product from Ippodo.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
i've finally tried yutaka midori from o-cha, is good but maybe i prefer asamushi.
i have a miyabi that is waiting to be opened.
and i started to like tenryu misakubo from o-cha, is a very good tea.
now i am focused for my next order, i think i will try kawane zairai from hojo

Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
HG gyokuro (gokujo or so i was told) from Yame. I like it a lot, but tea container is getting empty too fast.
Re: What GREEN are you currently drinking?
That is a common problem for just about all of us if we like the tea a lot, the tea container vanishes a lot quicker than we wish.Xell wrote:I like it a lot, but tea container is getting empty too fast.
