please suggest what sencha would you use from here https://thejapanstore.jp/collections/ja ... tea-coffee

Not sure why you have chosen this particular store, I have not heard of it. You might look at our Green Tea Vendor topic for some other ideas

faj, those sound like solid points! Ditto the use of 'blanching' term. Sorry, but i'm rather low on data to derail this topic any further with .

Good mood to ya'all . Has any of you had any experience with green teas from https://www.teahong.com/?

Welcome @polezaivsani. I haven’t tried their green teas but really enjoyed a Rougui- Cassia Extraordinaire 2016 from Tea Hong.

Enjoyed watching that! Was pretty funny as well A lot of work, just goes to show how much craft and knowledge is involved in making good tea. The music was also a nice choice.

Welcome to TeaForum new members. Looking forward to hearing from you.

With all this talk of Bao Zhong I decided to revisit a few that I have; A ‘68 Wenshan Bao Zhong that Tillerman kindly shared with me last year. Heated dry leaf has notes of ginseng. Liquor has aged books, minty camphor, medicinal dry earth notes through many steeps. Most pronounced on 3rd steep, but...

Yes, the macro shots of tea drops in action are great, as are the descriptions. Looks like they are out of UK, with most shipping from Taiwan. The ‘about me’ could be better, it’s pretty vague. The site is convincing enough though to make me curious.

@Teachronicles wow great repair, beautiful Zhuni. Did the hairline crack on the body go all the way up to the rim? If so how come the staples are only at the bottom of body? Would love to see inside of pot’s staple work area, to get a better idea how leaks are prevented at staple drill holes.

Item's no longer available. Could you please archive? Thank you!

Happy to see you sold it. No need to request it be moved, just that it is sold is good enough.

Mark-S to compare with your tasting notes, I just revisited my batch of 2017 Die Kunst Des Tees Tian Xiang Hong oolong from Nantou. The aromatics and liquor are really excellent in my opinion, rich, complex and layered. I’m not getting tobacco notes, rather a nicely transformed roasted oolong that ...

I joined the forum too late last year to join the group buy. I am tempted. One thing about Ippodo is they are very consistent. I’ve had this special gyokuro over three different years, and each year the quality and character is consistent. If you like brothy seaside umami notes, this is one great g...

Curious who else is participating in this special offer?

Oh oh Akira Satake is having another 10% off sale this Thursday. Akira Satake Ceramics Akira Satake Ceramics Summer Celebration Online 10% off Sale GOES LIVE this Thursday night! Akira has been busy in spite of the pandemic, and the results of several of his recent kiln firings will be featured amon...

Since Ippodo recommends 10 grams/80ml per serving, to get 3x30g, 4x30g, 2x50gram... hmmm

Excited to try this years Tokusen Gyokuro. Thank you for organizing it @pedant.
