Jake-gai is an obsolete slang, so some people might not understand it, haha^^Koheihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904754164913045544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4072833279100636926.post-38323317530616784332011-11-14T08:26:32.965+09:002011-11-14T08:26:32.965+09:00Konnichiwa, jun-san, Oh, Mikuniya Zengoro Tea have...Konnichiwa, jun-san, Oh, Mikuniya Zengoro Tea have tea with cool packages?

I didn't know all that much about tea at the time, but bought it just because it was presented so nicely. It actually turned out to be some really good baicha, and introduced me to one of my new favourite teas. I love that you've given me a phrase I can use to explain this kind of buying - it's something I do a lot, and so I think I'll be using this phrase a lot too! ^-^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4072833279100636926.post-67014669112887841602011-11-12T10:31:57.934+09:002011-11-12T10:31:57.934+09:00It's like Mikuniya Zengoro's teas!

Do google the cover and you'll see why I couldn't resist :)<br /><br />I might have bought one or two Chinese black teas because of the pretty tins/bags, but mostly it's pictures of the leaves that lure me in. Internet shopping is way too easy at times. >_<sparrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120996302943269403noreply@blogger.com
