My early reports on Kunpu are that it is stellar. I will get this shortly, but will have to wait a bit to open it.

You know you are right...naive bitterness is a bit of a juxtaposition, an oxymoron...yet Den somehow describes this tea so well.

I just had the Fukamushi Supreme thanx to Sal. This stuff is very good. Knee buckling good.

I received my Kunpu and Houryoku. They must wait to be opened.

The 2nd half of my hibiki order that was shipped the same day as the first half is still out there 5 days after I received the other half. :shock: I missed out on trying the farmer shincha last year, and now I am a little worried about missing it again this year since it is in the missing shipment.

I have put up my unopened hashiri shincha for swap/sale in the swap section. I think I just can't figure out how to brew them and I generally like mellow tasting teas. If anyone intereseted PM me. :(
