Uji Special Edition asamushi. This asa really impresses me with great session after great session ... and it can be "pushed" w/o ill-effect.

Yesterday, brewed up one of those sessions where as it was brewing and I smelled it, I knew it was going to be really special ... and it was.

Seriously exceptional round today of Asatsuyu Special Edition from Shizuoka.

2nd steep ...

Sencha Ran from Hakinowado. This is a very nice chumushi from Yame, lovely aroma and flavor ... http://hakoniwado.com/tea/sencha/yame-sencha-ran

Really nice combo of the teawares and tea--the rich green tea, snowy white cups, and simple unglazed kyusu. Sounds like the tea was as lovely as it looks.

I really like those cups. They do go well with the tea

Thanks for posting so many pictures lately, Chip. It's really nice to see your wonderful collection of tea ware (hard) at work!

Thank you, debunix and Stentor.

Well ... rerun of Ran. I am running a day behind. Yesterday's post was Saturday, and this one is Sunday's.

Anyway, this is a very enjoyable selection from Xell's Hakinowado (I can finally spell this without looking it up). Very high in "Crave Factor!"

Chip, is that a Maekawa Junzo kyusu?

Yep, did a post several days ago under Ode to Kyusu and am doing another post there today.

I run for Ran sencha.

A marvelous session with some Xihu Long Jing from Norbu--sweet, warm, vegetal. Enjoying it from a Petr-Yaki shino shiboridashi and cup.

That's an adorable pot, Chip the Mod

May I ask whether it's an antique or a recent one?

Is it close to the kind of Bizen wares or anything else?

It is brand new. It is Tokoname. I did a post here: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 05#p257590

Been starting most TeaDays for the last week with Sencha Ran from Hakinowado.

A cup of Kukicha tea to go with the pan dulce.

Enjoying, for the first time, a newly opened package of O-Cha's Uji Asamushi Sencha “Aoi”. Different than the other sencha I've tried, looks lighter but has a soft and sweet touch on the tongue. Makes me think of sushi.

Fukamushi Botan from Hakinowado. Really nice sencha for this price!
