Hahah here I took a picture and everything, expecting this to not be listed yet, but Tabby beat me to it.
I love the bulk stuff at this “farmer’s market” (it’s more like an international grocery). I did not know before that they had greens and oolongs because it’s so crowded I only saw the black teas. So I had to immediately grab this.
I was not expecting much. I paid $2.30 for about 3 1/4 ounces.
I don’t know if it was my low expectations or what, but holy crap, this is actually good! It’s very grassy but sweet. I didn’t want to make much so I used my gaiwan and guessed a bit and steeped it for a minute. It could probably go a bit less and of course I couldn’t find the little booklet from Den’s Tea to at least try their parameters on it. (That search begins after this.)
This will do until one day I have the money for a really good gyokuro.

A treasure hunt with an actual treasure! You are the megamillion winner! How fun to find a tea in an unexpected place that tastes really good. It’s like a tea miracle and could not happen to a nicer person!
Haha, I do like getting good tea for a ridiculously low price a lot better than the drama that would definitely occur with over a hundred million dollars. And best of all, it all started off with the lack of cherry tomatoes at the grocery store near me.
tea deals are awesome!! happy you found one :)
