I am interested to know where people purchase their green tea?
Specifically interested in the Gyokuro Asahi type. I just bought
50grams at a local shop for $16, and not sure if this is a good or bad
deal.

uptontea.com has Gyokuro (lit. Jewel Dew) $23.80 for 125g.

I placed my first order through Upton for some greens last night. Many people hear recommend that vendor.

I ordered some oolong through Generation Tea, generationtea.com, and they specialize in quality green, puerh, white, and oolong. I didn't see that tea listed in their selection though.

Ah...I don't know what local US-shops will charge for their Gyokuro, I
only checked some of the US-online vendors. In Germany you'll pay just
the same, usually 16 Euro (which is about $20) for 100grams, and the
prizes in Japan are about the same (2000-3000yen per 100grams for a
decent quality (not from the supermarket))...but of course it's no
problem to spend a lot more ^-^

Anyone has the actual exchange rates? Feeh...money... ^-^
