So, where do you get your Matcha?

Weekly Tea ceremony practice with four or five people will use up a tin of tea in short order so we're always looking for good and affordable matcha. We often stock up when friends go to Portland or San Francisco, and until recently have ordered delicious tea from Pacleaf.com. However, necessity dictates we broaden our tastes and shopportunities.

Here are some sites I found while cruising for new tea sources. Any recommendations? Comments are welcome!

We have tried Ippodo teas and found them to be of very good quality. The tea was sent as a gift from Sensei in Japan. We have not ordered directly from them.

http://www.amazon.com/DoMatcha-Organic-Matcha-Green-1-06-Ounce/dp/B0019FOZC4/ref=pd_bxgy_misc_img_b Who'da thunk that you could buy matcha from amazon?? I'm tempted.

We bought Shizuoka Tea from vending machines in and around Shizuoka. Very tasty.

i'm very sorry to tell you, that amazone.com does NOT ship either do matcha tea nor the matcha tea cups to canada.

it could be called descrimination.
