QUOTE(auhckw @ Jul 4 2011, 08:51 PM) Hojo is at The Gardens> http://hojotea.com/indexe.htmlThey sell premium tea and nice japanese teaware. Price is quite high but quality is quite good. I like their japanese greens. Purple cane is known for being expensive. I heard they can judge the temp of the water by the look of the bubble... they give names for it... shrimp eyes about 70-80 °C (155–175 °F) – separate bubbles, rising to top crab eyes about 80 °C (175 °F) – streams of bubbles fish eyes about 80-90 °C (175–195 °F) – larger bubbles rope of pearls about 90-95 °C (195–205 °F) – steady streams of large bubbles raging torrent rolling boil, swirling and roiling <wiki> Ya that was what I read also. Was busy trying it out today. you know what it is quite fun to go back to the basics. Makes that cup of tea so much more enjoyable. maxguy: where is the fun if u get a thermometer? My auto boiler does automatically too. |

You can check out their teawares too. The price tag is not cheap and they refused to give discount. If you compare it to their web store price, it is cheaper to buy online. Workaround for them not giving discount, ask for freebies (as in tea or accessories) especially you buy their teapots. |

Ya, I think they do sell the green tea, but I m not sure how much. Another option of such taste japanese green tea is @ Hojo, Karigane. It is not too expensive for casual drinking and it gives the burn smell. http://hojotea.com/item_e/g16e.htmIt is one of my favorite, but can be quite heaty if drink too much If you read back the older pages of this thread, I got many ulcer from drinking roasted tea. |

I was reading the article you linked to earlier and am very curious about their tea ware. Is the clay used that good? have to check this out in person. |

Is the clay used that good? have to check this out in person. They have lot of teaware info on their website. Look under Japanese Teapot section. Read through their purple, red, shigaraki, cast iron, etc. I like their Shigaraki Clay the most. Rough and enhance the water quite well. http://hojotea.com/item_e/shigaraki.htmFor Phoenix Oolong (Dan Cong), you can read under the Chinese Oolong Tea. Very informative about how they process and harvest. I really salute Hojo's way of selling tea, just that the price is something you must be willing to pay cause not cheap but is good quality.
