welcome!

i am actually starting to have doubts. will this be the first time i've been 'scammed' (even unintentionally?) in tea?

i just wish we'd get some kind of official communication. i'd even be OK with paying more to solve some kind of hypothetical tax issue, but i have no idea what the actual holdup is.

i strongly favor maximum functionality. good lid fit, good pour, clay that is not too muting, etc. i also appreciate good workmanship/craftsmanship. there's a lot of overlap, but functionality and workmanship are not the same thing. in my eyes, functionality is overall more important, but i'm willin...

in principle, a tinned copper or tinned bronze kettle would work fine, but i don't know where to get those. i saw some on hojo (a japanese vendor) (scroll down towards the bottom), but i don't think it's what you're looking for – they're only a few hundred mL. i'm assuming you want a bigger kettle? ...

welcome!

arthur is not currently responding to emails...
i managed to get ahold of eric (who no longer works with MCT). told me that he believes all the teas have arrived and that arthur is traveling rn. that is positive news, but it's unclear when we'll get our teas.

i emailed him and eric. no reply yet

i just saw your wrapper design. pretty cool! great job, bok.

i can't remember how long it took last time i ordered, but it always feels like it takes longer than it's supposed to lol. this time, i decided to just forego the emailing and wait. they have come through every time so far. hopefully there aren't major complications related to US import tariffs or s...
