Yame Gyokruo

by Pentox » Aug 19th, '08, 18:27

I've been neglecting Gyokuro recently and was wondering if anyone had some sources for some Yame Gyokuro. I find it a bit difficult to find, only knowing of a few vendors that offer it.

So far I know of:
Lupicia
Zencha
Ito-en
Chado Tea House (a new one I found i'll give a try to)
O-cha

Anyone else have somewhere?

Huh, I was about to say, o-cha doesn't offer a Yame Gyokuro.

O-Cha just added the Yame. It should be available in 50 gram packages next week. For now, 100 grams.

Yame Gyokuro at O-Cha

EDIT...it is now available in both sizes.

As it isn't very expensive compared to the other Gyokuros, I bought a 100gr package

Oh wow, that's downright cheap for a yame gyo. I'm almost afraid that it's a cheap yame gyo.

95% chance of yes. I'm in the process of my normal circling around the site to see what else I want to toss in on my order.
