Have a cup of some of the finest Japanese gyokuro green tea from my favorite little hole in the wall tea shop, Houraido (蓬莱堂). Today you’ll hear a 100+yo houhin teapot, a 60+yo tokoname water vessel, a 40+yo tin leaf container, and much more (including, possibly, a car driving through gravel in the distance…) Thanks for sharing tea with me.
