Oh my. I think I got mine today. I'm not quite sure though. At first I thought that it may be a vendor sample or something.
I mean the envelopes are sealed and embossed!

Mine arrived today along with 2 Japanese tins we had spoken about months ago.
When I opened the box with the tins, I wondered, "why did I want these?" They are completely generic/plain by Japanese canister standards, monochromatic, one a soft lavender color, the other an interesting green. They are nicely double lidded. No real designs, just kanji for tea and something else ...
... and then I saw the Japanglish and remembered. This is classic. A Japanese tea company would go to the expense of having these tins made and printed (not a sticker/label) with the most distinguishing graphic design/marking in English ... well, Japanglish.
LOL, the wording reminds me of the scene in Silence of the Lambs when Buffalo Bill had the girl in the pit and non personally told her ...
"It rubs the lotion on its skin.
It does this whenever it is told.
It rubs the lotion on its skin
or else it gets the hose again.
Now it places the lotion in the basket.
Put the *freak* ing lotion in the basket!"

I had to have them. Thanks Tim.The preservation method of shincha
it puts into a can and keeps in a
refrigerator.Since shincha tends to
the smell of other things,
let's make it not keep it together with
food,spices,etc.with a strong smell,
although of a scent is good.
