OK...word folks!!! Miyabi has hit the streets of Japan. I should have it in a week. The Fukamushi Supreme is in my TeaFridge, unopened!!!

Sal was kind enough to send me enough for 2 sessions. I had it today...this is really great schitz. It is really top notch. I can only hope the Miyabi is up to its normal high standards. This tasting will rock the hallz of TeaChat's inner santum for a long time to come.

Thanx for being patient. I have to double check to see who has and has not supplied me with their addies. Again, if you have not, PM me asap, thanx.

And let me know if you are buying either on your own. You will still get the other one you did not order..unless you ordered both. EO cracked me up. He cancelled out on me!!! Funny, he said he did not want my tea...he decided to get both on his own. :lol: Wise move!!!
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

I hope to have it weighed and shipped by tomorrow!

And also thanx Joel. 360 grams of shincha Fuka Supreme and Miyabi weighed and ready to go...but...

I got to the the very last envelope and was short a bag of Miyabi. Someone might not have gotten one of each who was suposed to, instead getting 2 Miyabi samples. Now I could cut open 19 packages...or hope I got it packed right. I will go with the latter and apologize later if I need to. I am going to blame it on being more than a little caffeinated. :shock:

*note to self, put different samples in different boxes in the future*

I have a little left of each...any late takers.

I have them both too so I will pass. But thank you for the offer. And... I know how much you hate me and I don't trust you not to lace it with cyanide. :|

The Fukamushi Supreme is superb once again this year. I'm hoping the miyabi will arrive here before the holiday weekend...

OK...400 grams of shincha into my house...and 375 grams back out the next day. It is in the mail. When I ordered the 400 grams for this tasting, I thought I would have lots leftover.

Had to do customs forms for our 3 foreign friends.

Most of you will receive a sample of Miyabi and Fukamushi Supreme.

I will post a sticky topic in a day or two along with "my suggestions" for brewing. and for your tasting notes.
