Re: Yixing

A few days of sunlight and fresh air are also often mentioned to remove odors from clayware. Now just not the best conditions, at least for sunlight in Finland.

Not Tseun, but Tsuen Tea. Because someone wants to search for information later on, for example, based on the conversation you had.

Re: Your day in tea

I'm pretty sure some local dealer in your area has this very common 0.1g pocket scale for sale as well.

Hon-Yuu bio sencha from Watanabe Tea Garden, Yakushima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Very delicious tea, even though without any umami tuning. Sencha has mostly been sought for the taste that nature gives it.

Re: Yixing

Re: Question about tokoname.or.jp product listing
