Thanks - very hard to find information on this in English. Have added more shops, pics of seals and links to to posts in tf and elsewhere

Enjoying 2019 midnight rougui yancha from lazycat - a heavily roasted tea that is exceptionally smooth and comfortable- primed for hard brewing.

Happy lunar festival!
