I'd also be interested in how you keep it fresh. The last bit of mine is
usually pretty stale before I can drink it all.

I usually get Shincha from http://www.denstea.com/ . I've always been happy
with it, but to be honest, I don't have experience with other vendors
Shincha. I've just had good results with Den's Japanese teas.
