Re: Shincha 2020, "the Year of COVID-19"
I was just allowing readers to figure that part out ... 😉 Did I just voluntarily lose my edge up here? :lol: Maybe ... I remember an incident on TC years ago where a member was discussing on the IM a limited "buy now" one-off Korean teaware item offering. Another member ... just so happened to buy ...

Re: What Green Are You Drinking
Today I had Honyama Tamakawa Yamakai Cultivar 本山 玉川 山峽 from TDJ. I decided to brew this within vendor recommended parameters. I brewed 10g for 150ml of water at 60C in a preheated Kyusu. The resulting tea was incredibly brothy and sweet. I went through a bag of this tea a couple of months ago. Read...

Re: Shincha 2020, "the Year of COVID-19"
He told me no newsletter, no preorder ... when he has it, he will post it. Should be Friday. Very small window to potentially beat the weekend - no shipping and Golden Week (May 3-6) - again no shipping. Sooo ... "When he posts it, will they come ... " Tea Field of Dreams 2020 :mrgreen: Not trying ...

Re: Shincha 2020, "the Year of COVID-19"
I grabbed a bag of Mebuki from Kettl. I had Chiran last year and it was REALLY good. Trying not to over-order this year so I figure one bag of the new stuff. Nice! I'm curious if Kettl actually has their Shincha in hand stateside yet. I placed an order last week too but haven't seen anything ship. ...

Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Posting this Fugetsu pot that came in just a few days back. I was very attracted to the bulgy variation and slight color twists and folds of this pot. It is gorgeous to look at, and makes a great cup of Sencha! DSC05328.JPG DSC05319.JPG I am not the best at photography, but I tried to capture the fo...

Re: Akira Satake
S_B you have a really nice collection going there. Is that a new shudei kyusu? Details? Looks like a perfect size. Love the Nevada shaped plate and new yunomi. Yes! I picked up a Fugetsu piece that was lucky enough to slip through. It is 260ml - pretty versatile! ...Honestly, I may have to pick up ...

Re: Japan Post suspended all shipments to ...
I think the connection is only held alive so far by the masses of overseas Taiwanese fleeing the mad house of doom and desperation :))) Lol very possibly. Our family is remaining a pillar in the storm! Fortunately, Taiwan is doing great, but planes may become in short supply sooner or later. Let's ...

Re: Japan Post suspended all shipments to ...
What do you mean by that? I am in a similar boat...I am pretty sure that we just won't see those packages for a while. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll slip through, though!I am afraid they will not receive my understanding in advance. It might take up to 4 months.
