Thanks, I am quite familiar with it actually. I use a water boiler/warmer to keep the temp well below boiling for green tea. I also don't steep green tea for a very long time.

The other green teas I have tried from the asian grocery here and ordered online just didn't taste like the tea I had at most japanese restaurants in Japan. The tea I bought in Japan, which I made the same way as the others, did taste like it.

Maybe I've just had bad luck buying tea so far. I'll try some more brands.
