Almost missed limited edition shincha and thus i could get only little bit of it, Yame 88 nights is available for pre-order. It should be available for shipping around 8-9 may.

This year i'm starting to move on my own and this allows me for better price/quality ratio. Tea choice will be different this year. Currently list of available teas is rather short, but i think quality got better. Especially with matcha, Yame Seiju koicha matcha is noticeably better than Seiho. After i add several more Yame teas i plan on focusing on Ureshino and Nagasaki teas. Steamed and pan fired tamaryokucha.

Reworked point system, now it's basically a 10% discount for regular customers. Can use everything on next order, not necessary to have enough to cover point cost of tea or teaware.

Has anyone heard from or ordered from Xell recently? I have been trying to contact him without success. Hopefully everything is OK.

Hello and thanks for worrying about me.

Was going through some major family problems, at least seems finally past most difficult time.

Will be working on big shop update in June. And for now launched spring sale for 2012 teas. Sencha Kiri is new and will replace Kikyou (from last OTTI i participated), flavor is similar, but Kiri is more higher grade.

Good to hear from you, Xell! Hopefully things will continue to improve.

The Kiri sounds very interesting since the Kikyou was very good! :mrgreen:
