  1. Got my first ever shincha (from Wazuka, Kyoto) delivered recently, and have been giving it a few test brews. Delightful flavour, but what I really can't get out of my head is that the leaves smell *exactly* like a perfect nectarine (not independently verified, ymmv)

  2. I've just given the kyusu its inaugural brew, with a wonderful gyokuro. It's a tiny little thing, a mere 160 ml, so not one to bring out when for serving guests. For when it's just little old me enjoying one of my fancier teas, it is perfection.
