I will definitely be getting some of this when it becomes available, the Long Jing and Yunnan Gold I had off them last year were just fantastic!JINGTea@Jdm1987 yes, we'll have two new senchas, one from wazuka,kyoto prefecture and one from uji, kyoto prefecture, also a new gyokuro
I have that pot as well. I absolutely love it. I dropped it onto my hardwood floor and only a little piece on the inside rim chipped off. Sturdy little thing and very cute. Only thing is the site says its 11oz but I measure it to be only 9oz to the rim. My infusions usually come out to be 8oz when I fill it up.devites wrote:I have that pot and it works excellent for me (mostly fukas and gyo).

Anyone else have this pot?
I am where I was, no progress, and no urgency I guess. I understand the excitement and share it with everyone! But having been through it pretty many times, I am not so concerned with preorders as much, unless there is a cost benefit.iannon wrote:so has everyone filalized their lists or already ordered?

well its my first shincha season so i guess I am a little excitedChip wrote:Great picks Danibob and Pasttimes! I will likely order all of them. I am quite interested in the Hatsumi this harvest since it was a controversial year for it last year.

i orderd an organic hand picked one from Jiro Susuki for the pure fact I liked their families tea growing story.. I still want to order a couple from the better known "mainstream" ? vendors like o-cha or dens or wherever! kinda do a comparison you knowI would say yes. (I ordered a few packs) Temomi is more about Temomi than being shincha. It has an appearance and flavor unlike any other sencha. It's unique in it's own right, and unlike any other sencha experience I have ever had.e d o wrote:Is Sugimoto's Temomi Shincha really worth the asking price ($15 for 10gm + $8.50 shipping)? It's so much more expensive than all the other offerings and tomorrow is the last day to preorder.
