Is this sae midori from ocha that comes from kagoshima the same as hibiki-an`s saemidori fukamushi super premium from uji, and their fukamushi shincha is made from saemidori breed, and gyokuro fuuki from horaido is from sae midori breed. I am familiar with the taste it is sweet like burnt sugar aroma, some might say candy aroma, deep sweetnes, and it won in the all japan tea competition first and second place in the gyokuro category in 2008, check it out http://www.bassaro.com/tea-facts/stuff/ ... y-2008-pdf .

I have just ordered 200gr (4 x 50g) of their shincha.
I guess this will end my shincha orders this year. Kirameki and Ippodo.

I have ordered 50 g of Fuji The Ultimate - Shincha Fukamushi.

This will be my first sincha!

I'm happy and I hope it's a good choice.

I'm really curious about the Yuuki-Cha organic Japanese green tea vendor.

I've heard good things about the Yabe and Magokoro.

But I have some questions about some of their other offerings.

Has anyone tried any of these:

Organic Uji Sencha, Yuuki Yutaka or the Organic Shizuoka Shincha Kawane no Kaori

I want to hear anyone's impression on those three.

Ya know, I like to do research before I pull the trigger.

Thanks guys!

Both the Uji Sencha and the Yuuki Yutaka are new offerings. I have pre-ordered the Uji and was thinking of ordering the Yuuki Yutaka which was just added a few days ago. Yuuki Yutaka is a mix of Sae Midori and Yutaka Midori. You can't go wrong with that! The Kawane no Kaori is really good, I've ordered it a few times. Haven't tried the Shincha version yet though. I really like Yuuki-Cha. I've also been drinking their genmaicha which is good.
