Good to know, cool, thanks! I will probably be ordering from Maiko, since iannon has been praising their shincha so much for years.tjsan wrote:Pre-order from Maiko is now available: http://www.maiko.ne.jp/english/shopping/shincha.htm

OK... and because I have liked the teas that I've had from Maiko so far. I haven't had the Kinari yet, though, so I am excited about it.![]()
It may actually be the only shincha I am buying this year. O-Cha's offerings are tempting, though!
Heh, I ordered the same, along with some O-Cha YM. Not sure if I'm going to order much of anything else this year.iannon wrote:My two "for sure" orders are the Maiko Kinari and the O-cha Aoi. already preordered both.
What is it about the Kinari that you like so much? And how would you describe the taste?iannon wrote:Wellll...I just really like the Kinari..and you can ONLY get it at Shincha time.they do not offer a "regular" version of it throughout the year. off to preorder
