Where to find green teas...
Someone asked me where they could find real Japanese green teas, so I've started digging around the internet to see what I can find. For the record, I haven't had ANY of these teas, so I can't tell you how good they are. But, they are actually selling Japanese tea.
This is a Japanese store, run by westerners, specializing in organic/health foods. They might ship outside japan. Click on fair trade coffee and teas, then look down to the bottom of the page.

Alternately, try your local asian/japanese food store. If you ask for Sencha, they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Also worth noting is that the Adagio Sencha Premier was decent. Still a bit lacking, but not a bad introduction to the world of real Japanese Sencha. I brewed some up this morning for the first time, and while I was not blown away, I was also not disappointed. I'm looking forward to writing up the review.
I also want to bring these teas to work with me to see what my Tea Lady (yes, that is her job position!) can do with them. I can brew a decent cup of Sencha these days, but am no expert :)
