14 euros for shipping from Bavaria to Italy? Dammit, guys, you only have to cross the Alps! Still cheaper than shipping from Japan, though.andrzej bero wrote:sorry for continuing off topic about MARUKYU KOYAMAEN here.
There is possible to buy their products in Middle Europe too:

This one seems good, actually. My only concern is about that "for all other countries we'll inform you when you make the request".andrzej bero wrote: Zen-Verlag (Germany)

Oh, Magyar, why art thou Magyar? Their English version is not working.
30€? Might be cheaper to have a trip in Kiyv and buy directly on the spot.andrzej bero wrote: Chaism Ltd. (Ukraine)

Suutej_Tsaj, and what can I say? There are no even Alps between us, just a few rivers:) and you are wrong - for SAL from Japan I last paid 280 yen (with 40g netto), worse for them:(Suutej_Tsaj wrote: andrzej bero wrote:sorry for continuing off topic about MARUKYU KOYAMAEN here.

Thanks fnord, you were right. I have contacted with Hungarian "Carpe diem" (in "my" english). Very good, fast and competent service (answers on Sunday at midnight!). But anyway, bescuse of shipping price I'll have to look for another solution.fnord wrote:my experience with them was very good and i had email contact with all three,i think it should be no problem to write them in english.

Good idea! I have been thinking about getting some bancha for some time, as well as placing an order with Ippodo.NOESIS wrote:Since we are still OT, thought I'd mention that bancha fans might want to check out Ippodo's excellent Wakayanagi. I believe it's a spring (or possibly summer) harvest bancha. Very aromatic, with medium body and a modest "bite". A very inexpensive (450Y), casual drinking tea.
+1 also like their basic kukicha a lotNOESIS wrote:
My personal favorites for daily sencha are Unro and Shoike-no-o. Unro is on the clean/crisp side, but well balanced. A very "easy drinker". The Shoike-no-o has more richness/umami, but again, is very balanced.
Now that you mentioned it, so do I. Also a really big fan of the kuki version of hojicha.tenuki wrote:+1 also like their basic kukicha a lotNOESIS wrote:
