This is the Matcha Kotobuki I got. The color is really fine I think. I'll see tomorrow if it is as good and pleasing as I hope.
In the meantime, all this talking and wheeling and dealing has made me brew a cup of Semcha. Being late at night, I dumped the first seep. Now I have a very fine drink of nice tea that leaves my mouth clean and happy, so I will do an other seep.
It might be that I am back on the tea track? who knows. For the time being I am fine like that.
