Re: Introduce Yourself

I remember Fukujuen looked intriguing but we kept passing it when it was closed, on a main shopping street. I can't find my notes at present to remember others.

Re: Introduce Yourself

I did get to try some tea at Tsuen tea house, and it was lovely, and I bought a bunch of tea to take home. if I recall correctly, we were joined for part of our session by someone who identified as a member of the Family that owned the shop. It's not far from Kyoto! But tea was not high on Mom's to ...

Black diamond from thunderbolt. Last of my thunderbolt gift samples
sounds delicious. If I did not already have some very nice Keemun from Daxue Jiadao I would be sorely tempted

Re: Looping usps packages

I had a China post parcel that was delivered to my regional post office right around the new year, if I recall correctly, but after Christmas. It sat there for something like two weeks before it abruptly moved to my local post office and was delivered the next day. usually when I see that arrival at...

Re: Korean green tea (nokcha)

I have been negligent of Korean greens from my Tea Buy Korea purchases at times and discovered them a year or two later and found them still quite delicious, perhaps not as fresh as they might've been otherwise but still very good. I have never refrigerated them.

Does that help?

Re: importance of $/g ?

I don't usually plug the numbers into a calculator but I do eyeball them and estimate dollars per gram, especially when the price first looks good and then I look and realize that it's for a smaller than usual quantity. how much I'm willing to pay per gram depends a lot on the specific tea, how much...

Re: What Herbal Are You Drinking

A combination I've been drinking a fair bit lately, especially in the evening when I don't want to be caffeinated as I'm getting ready for bed: for the 500 mil pot, half a lemon in thin slices, a few slices of fresh or candied ginger, a pinch of whole dry rosemary leaf, pinch of dried lavender, pinc...

Re: What Black Are You Drinking

as I am reading this, I am sipping the last bit of a sample of 2022 Nilgiri Highland Black from Ketlee. it is completely unfair to compare this sample, which was delayed in opening and then sat open for a while before I finished it off today. Kettle tea is tasty, but now your post is making me long ...
