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.
