It's a lot to spend on an unknown, but presumably you get to keep that beautiful tea canister forever! I've not come across Kaburagien before; their stuff is certainly not inexpensive, that's for sure.Chip wrote:Same price and sencha ... if you prefer bamboo over "bonsai" look.
I have looked at both of these almost every day for a month. I am struggling with buying 300 grams of any one sencha, let alone one I never tried.

I have not heard anything negative about them, which is usually quickly passed along even more so then positive feedback. I am thinking they are good.brianlavelle wrote: It's a lot to spend on an unknown, but presumably you get to keep that beautiful tea canister forever!

blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!
Beautiful! If I actually liked the tea inside of the ones I like, I would not hesitate.

These cans are cute!! The structure of the tea can doesn't seem anything fancy. But oh I love the color, pattern and the little 茶 character too! There are many cardboard cans out there, but few have so pretty color and pattern!
Cardboard cans could be nice too, not for long-term storage though. Many people even like cardboard cans, because next to ceramic, cardboards allow tea to "breathe". Even some green tea drinkers put their tea in cardboard cans, but then of course they finish their tea every few weeks and get new tea.

I've had Kaburaigen tea before, pretty good stuff. I haven't run across any good place to get it from though leaving me to order from their kinda weird website should I want some.Chip wrote:I have not heard anything negative about them, which is usually quickly passed along even more so then positive feedback.
