Well this looks like it may be it for the month. Anyone left who wants to jump on the shincha express?

Otherwise get those addies over here!

make sure you have your addies in. June is just around the corner people!

Also let us know if you just want to use what you think we may have as your addy.

No it is safely here, out of his reach.

It would be great to get it out asap since it is all here. So, addies please ...

It looks like the 2 shicha will go out this coming week. If you have not forwarded your addie to Pentox or me, please PM it to me.

Might be an added new harvest bonus, non Japanese ...

Thanks.

OK, I finally have everyone's addie. :lol: All but one went out on Thursday, so I think a bunch of you will get it starting today maybe (Saturday).

A few of you received one or the other since you indicated buying one or the other on your own. Hopefully I got it all right. 8) Each sample contains about 20 grams.

I will open a new topic shortly, but a comment or 2 here. I supplied the Takumi from Zencha which is fukamushi. This was so good over the last few years that this one tea alone virtually vaulted Zencha into the number 2 spot of my fave Japanese vendors.

But new harvest and this is just not as good as my previous experiences with it unfortunately, imho. It is still pretty good, but is somehow lacking the "Gokoh" breed flavor that I had come to expect and adore. Is it over anticipation on my part? I don't know.

88 nights from SA is compliments of Pentox. From the looks of it, it is close to fukamushi, maybe in between chu and fuka?
