Thanks, but to my knowledge you can't actually *buy* any of that tea.
It doesn't appear on the site for sale, and I don't recall ever being
able to buy it. The pricing stated seems about right, but even the
highest priced Gyokuro they sell is only $165/280g and isn't the stuff
produced as stated in that article.

If I'm mistaken or you know of a way to order some please let me know,
I'd be very interested. Handling and processing was something I didn't
really touch on but makes a big difference as well with Gyokuro, the
hand-picked/hand-made approach would be near the top in that respect.
I'm not aware of the exact plantation where his leaves come from and it
doesn't say in the article... just the area.

I saw the samples on hibiki as well, I placed an order the other day.
All this Gyokuro talk has me going nuts until I can drink some now
It's like a recovering alcoholic at an open bar... I had been doing so
good too...
