@bram that’s interesting, people began to buy expensive tea just for the sake of showing off!

So in other words the old cakes are more of a collector’s item, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of the tea leaves?

It doesn’t have to be Japanese, what I mean is that they can just be called powdered teas instead of matcha, which comes from tencha only.Just like caviar comes from a certain fish, champagne is only a sparkling […]

@liberties the powdered genmaicha sounds fun, I’ll write down a note and someday try to powder it myself.I’m not against powdered teas, I just want them to be named fairly. Can’t it just be powdered oolong? Matcha […]

Great project,wish you the best of luck and that we can taste the tea on 2019!

@bram @jackie Matcha can be quite expensive, I think. 30 grams of ceremonial matcha can cost $50 dollars or more, that’s like $1.6 per gram. That’s the most expensive one I’ve bought. And there’s matcha that costs […]

I clicked on the link and it says that the product is no longer available, it didn’t have a picture either.

Thank you @jackie, that was of great of great help.There really is a lot of people writing mostly about Chinese tea. I hope I can balance things a bit with my blog. Another thing I would like is for people (and […]

@iheartteas I’ve already been following you for quite a while 🙂

@jackie yes, I mean serious tea aficionados with or without blog, who tweet mostly about tea.My twitter name is the same as my user name, @riccaicedo.I already followed many tea companies, but only if they sell at […]

Thanks, @lazyliteratus, I’m going to follow him now.
