Enjoying another Thes Du Japon sencha, fuji-midori from okawa-oma, delicious as well as an aromatic delight, the moment the water hit the leaves I knew I was in for something special. I love these high elevation senchas, haven't been disappointed by one yet, only disappointed is that I didn't get mo...

I see, thank you for the insight bok, deciphering the effects of hojo's clays has been a little confusing (especially with the revisions some such as the akitsu over the years).

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but has anyone had luck with any of the oxidation mumyois with dancong, probably going to get a joaka anyways but just curious.

Mmm. Looks good. How do you find the banko for sencha? I find banko works quite well for a lot of sencha (as well as other Japanese steamed greens like kabusecha and gyokuro), especially the shizu cultivars such as kurasawa or shizu 7132 as both body and aftertaste are improved while astringency is...

Trying to figure how much nokcha to buy from this years teabuy (excited, korean tea is new to me), wondering how long they stay fresh (mainly sejak), and if anyone has tried refrigeration for better preservation like is common with Japanese greens?

Masterjeff (curious choice of handle :| ) I went ahead and contacted Kevin for some clarification and will share his reply. I hope my handle doesnt give a poor impression, its just an old nickname a friend gave me since I'd always have the highscore on this one game at the arcade :) Thanks for cont...

It’s only early August now. Gyokuro is aged in cool storage 3-6-12 months so typically new iterations are sold after September, into the following year. Reading through this thread and Green Tea forum will have highlights from years past. I have found Gyokuro to be consistent in quality with vendor...
