100 bucks no brainer just get it

How do your guts cope with such tea??

...dystopian...

Good for Amazon et al bad for specialised vendors...

you can apply all this, but for the most, it's reputation above all else, especially when specialised/specialized...

Not as touchy what they did in terms of feely... way back when...

But, it is history after all... and their pots are pretty ugly as far as i'm concerned... with exceptions, of course!

Should be done for all cakes really... Aged and cooked cakes I guess I'm saying...

Way too young but always good storage potential for these guys. I just checked on a tuo from 1997 and it's still smoky, astringent and rough but bittersweet on the finish and follow thru....

Drive safe, drink well and have a great time, I'm pumped for you! Due to the current situation, I couldn't sit down and try any of their wonderful...

I think it comes down to using tendons rather than fine muscle and a certain kind of Spiderman type finger splaying gaiwan rim gripping thing...

And the freaking lid oh for heaven's sake don't go there it's another nightmare scenario...

And to sniff or not to sniff...
