The powered green tea is called "matcha".
Just go online and type "matcha tea" and you will be overwhelmed with info.
Skip all the ritual stuff and make matcha.

Or use this: "Preparation of the tea:
Cleanse the matcha tin and spoon with the silk cloth. This symbolizes the
cleansing of the host's thoughts and helps to attain full attention.
Afterwards put some hot water into the tea bowl and clean the bamboo brush.
Put the water into the waste water pot and clean the broom and tea bowl with
the linen cloth.
Now lift both the matcha tea container and the spoon and place 3 scoops per
person into the bowl. With the ladle or directly from the kettle add enough
water to whisk up a thick broth. Then add water until the tea is as thick as
pea soup. The remaining water in the ladle is put back into the kettle. "

You may use electric wisk to beat the matcha but use lowest speed.
Matcha is a very invigorating drink. Do not drink it before you go to bed (I
mean if you plan on gettin some sleep)

High above seal level ,free from pollution ,free from pesticide ,free
from chemical fertilizer

you are in the market for the Chinese tea in bulk.

we handling the export of organic oolong tea certified by ECOCERT in
bulk Fujian Anxi in china

Please visit our website http://www.yunxiangtea.com or
http://www.teakingdom.com.cn

Xiamen Yunxiang Enterprises Co.,Ltd. incorporated in 1988, is a
private enterprise specializing in tea and related products. It has
under it an organic Oolong tea production base, tea plantations on
high mountains, tea factories, tea stores, and tea houses. It has over
one hundred chained stores or counter in different parts of the
country.

The company is growing along the path of specialization in tea
plantation, production and marketing through recruitment of talents,
improvement of production techniques, development and innovation, and
overall implementation of quality control and "brand" strategy. It has
elementarily developed into a group enterprise with intensified
operation.

Yunxiang tea series are always made with natural and pure quality
Oolong tea from mountains in Anxi. Due to the delicate processes,
Yunxiang Oolong tea has developed into its unique kind in the kingdom
of Oolong tea. In 1996, the company built a mountain highway up to the
altitude of over 1300 meters above the sea level and developed an
organic tea farm there. In 1999 organic food experts from ECOCERT came
to inspect, examine and certify this organic Oolong tea production
base and the company became the first enterprise in China to export
organic Oolong tea.

The company has always stuck to the operation tenet of "quality first,
consumers first and reputation first", upheld the entrepreneurship of
"uniting, challenging, being practical, innovating and striving for
the best", and try to develop into an excellent example in Chinese tea
industry.

Good one, Lew. And speaking of which I'm into Silver Bud this am. This and
the Nannao are a little tricky, probably due to their youth. I'd say in 20
years they'd both be soft and plump. ................

Why is that "soft and plump" ring no tea connection in my mind?

I get it - you guys do drink black puerhs which I almost never drink. And
aged green puerhs are never (as far as my limited experience go) soft and
plump.
