ALL YOUR BASE
http://www.hopsdirect.com/cashmere-leaf/ - These guys have leaf. It is the only site I've found that has cashmere at all. You may be better off asking your LHBS if they have, or plan on getting any.
For anyone else researching and/or looking for these, I recently bought one pound of these from YakimaValleyHops.com.
Also, I could not find anyone with reviews so I will post one here:
TASTING:
I did a 100% cashmere hopped pale wheat ale, about 5% ABV. Basically half wheat, half 2-row, with a touch of light caramel.
The hops shone through and the number 1 response I get from friends is "melon." I'd agree with that. There is a pith, rind like flavor as well. It is also very floral and somewhat tea like, in my opinion. Definitely some melon or cantaloupe thing though. The flavor is good and I'm excited to mix it. I will probably try to blend it with mosaic next.
