You have to try a few different sources. Not necessary expensive.
Good cakes might be expensive but ...I posted how you have to brew it properly. *shudder* One must be the real teaist to go to the length.
Although, I suspect I will visit the Lady of The Chinese Tea Company over this summer. My better half is too curious now. I am sure we will leave with at least one cake


A cup of....air. Empty again! It was Sencha-Uji from NBTea. I must mention the source because now I am waiting for a parcel from Japan with two other Senchas...

I am off for today, but I will make a cup of tea. Probably floral oolong.
