Expect more threads on Hojicha, my tea chat lovlies!
Yahoo Health ran an article about hojicha helping brightening skin, healthy, all that junk AND they linked to us. Which is awesome, because we sold out of whatever hojicha.
But, on Wednesday I was flooded with the typical inquiries of 'how can this tea burn fat off my butt'/'will this tea prevent me from having another heart attack'/'tell me about antioxidants'/'what green tea is the healthiest'- basically the rookiest of rookie questions- those looking for quick fixes for health issues/tea as medicine/etc. Tea is healthy, we all know that so yeah...if you see a flux of posts on this tea, try to be nice

We will forward all houjicha and health questions to tenuki!!!
I will take these questions over the current spammer who will not die! He is unstoppable because he knows all the tricks. Banning him is useless since he has a new IP for each post. Banning his user name stops him for a few hours. If I see Scooby Doo "getting some" again, I might go insane.
I was hoping he would just give up...more drastic measures may be needed if he doesn't give up soon.

I've never heard of such health claims for houjicha. Do you have a link to the article you speak of Xine? Sounds interesting.

Most health claims I've read concerning it are along the lines of "all the goodness and natural type stuff of tea without all those problems of caffeine" and that's about it.

The New York Times mentioned Adagio last weekend in an article on high-end tea, I forget if it was the Times Magazine or the Style section or something.
I'll try to find a link...
edit: Here is the NY Times article mentioning adagio, click on page 3:
