With our photo studio still in carton boxes, I took this quick product shot in the balcony. It's a cloudy day so not really great lighting, but just so you can see what the teas look like. Do you know the name of each of these varieties? Find out if you are correct in the linked post

Tea Hong to Resume online sales in November 😅 (Sorry!)
|
& What our Japanese collection will look like
|
|
|
As of this very moment, we have not heard from the shipping company yet whether they are releasing our cargo from their abruptly imposed “quarantine”.
|
Yes, you read it right, the shipping company, not the customs. This is just one of the many unusual things in Japan that we have been dealing with. The weird and blockade like bureaucracies in certain commercial entities are a lot more nightmarish than the government.
|
|
We have been negotiating with them for the past few weeks, often many days in a row, for retrieving our goods, answering new questions that they suddenly came up with every other day, busily preparing piles of documents they demanded.

|
It looks like we can get our stocks and supplies in November. I promise you we shall resume as soon as possible after that. Thank you for your kind understanding and continual support.

We are now in Japan after all. Our producer in Mie is an hour’s drive from us and Kyoto is a 35min bullet train ride away. We have been working with them to fine tune our offers… (read the whole story in the link below)

Do click the linked post to read more about the teas. We have worked for quite a few years before the relocation to screen the many suppliers and producers to have the current selections.
|
As always, I want to bring you the best at the best price.

Although you cannot buy anything yet, and the Japanese line isn't there yet, all our other teas and teapots are still worth browsing. Those heartfelt user reviews are worth reading; there are quite a few new ones.
