Where are the best stores to buy loose Japanese 'Sencha' tea (Green tea)?

Question

In June this year, I will be visiting Freeport Maine, Portland Maine, and North Conway, New Hampshire. I am not yet sure, but I may have the time to visit Boston as well. Any recommendations would be appreciated. - Also, any ideas on what prices are commonly charged for this variety of loose tea.

Answer 1

That's a good question, I love that kind of tea and really all sorts of tea that is loose, like oolong, and any type of green tea, including sencha.  Really though it's tough to come across it though.  You could try calling some of the Asian markets.  Or you may be able to find it in the yellow pages.  I ran into my tea shop on accident...it's in Vegas though so it prob won't help...
