ippodo-tokusen-jozan2-shudei.jpg stunning session with the ippodo tokusen. popping with fresh vegetable flavors, maybe peas. i was worried that i took too long to drink it, but i wonder if waiting made it even better somehow. or maybe it was just that luscious shudei. now i have only 10g left. 😭 i'...

yesterday, Muadeeb and i did a double blind tasting of a few dongfang meirens. someone else had prepared 4g samples of each for us in advance.

I couldn't find anything in Rules & Etiquette that said I couldn't post large pics, but if this is bad practice, please let me...
