i have enjoyed hojo's DXS white teas. could try W29C/W35C, for example.fruitier mellow white

the only web store i know that gives consistently good dj tea. tons of disappointing (or even fake) dj out there.
ordering from him kinda sucks though. shipping takes forever, and the prices are high without a coupon. there are good coupons (like half off, lol), but if you want a specific tea of which there is low qty available, it's often sold out by then.
it's the only dj shop i still order from, but lately i have been getting trial batches from a different guy who lives there – tea processing consultant to some gardens, no web store. the tea has different character but also good.
green that isn't super grassy
not 100% sure if i get what you mean by grassy. do you like japanese greens? i would probably not go hojo for those because imo his specialty is old fashioned style greens that don't get super fertilized and are relatively low in umami. more strong polyphenol kinda taste.
