Black Indian teas, generally yes. Chinese blacks, pretty much yes.

Chinese greens, a big NO.

Japanese greens, a shout it from the mountain top NO.

IMHO

LOL like your comment chip :lol: and thanks as you know Iam on the o-cha team as well as u are but this catalog sure looked inviting I will just have to wait for the new shinchas coming through o-cha.
Thanks again chip
The only reason I got the catalog was to purchase the upton sample tins as you suggested which are great by the way thanks for that advice also.

Are you putting the upton sample tins inside of a larger tin ala Chip style? I was interested in picking some of those tins but I'm low on funds at the moment.

Hi beachape
Yes thats exactly what I had planned to do, because I wanted to be able to store in fridge to keep my new shinchas fresh
