Re: Hojo Tea

upon further reflection, i wonder if it could be possible that it wasn't spam. maybe it was somehow a mistranslation of hojicha (hojotea)? if so, oops. although the description of the tea doesn't sound like hojicha. edit: if i was wrong, and you see this, please use the contact form on the site. sor...

What do you guys think?
no clue what that particular clay performance is like, but i kind of like the look of it actually. get it if it makes you happy. it's not insanely expensive.
