| Fantastic!! Since this only comes in a 50 gram package, I place an order for 2 packs. This will hold me over for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I ran out of Fujitsubo, so I won't be able to do any comparisons, but I look forward to trying this new gyokuro out. |

I have bought teaware and tea from them, the hohryu teapot is really handmade and super lightweight tokoname teapot, it pours perfectly it is beautiful and it gives off heat like a gaiwan of thin porcelain and it retains the aroma of the tea after I have brewed a couple of cups after drying the smells stil gently linguered out of it, and of course it is not 360 ml capacity you can only brew less than 300 cc 3 yunomi`s wich is perfect for sencha, I use 200 cc comfortably `cause with high quality tea less is more. But the yuzamashi I bought was of bad quality I don`t recomend it.
Buy only what is handmade in tokoname, and the houhin that their selling has too high of a price I can buy similar at half the price. The tea saemidori sencha fukamushi was fresh and good, and their gyokuro is spicy, clean and pretty good within that price range, and above 38$ free airmail shipping. |

Hibiki-an claims that everything they carry is the best. I personally think they carry some pretty mediocre teaware for the price they charge.
I have bought teaware from them but not tea. One transaction was more than enough for me. I don't like them and I don't trust them. |

The Hohryu is an excellent kyusu but in my opinion, at that price point it should have a sasame (clay) filter instead of a metal one. That was my only complaint. After I replaced it with a Tokaname by Hokujo, I gave the Hohryu to my nephew, who is new to tea, and both he and his girlfriend love it.
The two Sohen cups I purchased from Hibiki-an were another story. I literally threw them in the trash and never regretted it. They refused to print my review of them and wouldn't even enter my rating. |

| Please post me the site from where you have bought the teapot, because I was looking for a teapot with a built in filter. |
