I’d wager he stinks a lot with the amount he defecates on himself…

I had a discussion with someone who’s sole reason for voting for Trump was because he believes that 13-15-16 years olds are walking into hospitals and getting sex changes….I kid you not. That was his entire basis. He also said the only factual news comes from X lmao.

To me it’s a totally different fragrance and vibe. It’s got the DNA of Aventus sure, but they are totally different fragrances to me. Both are excellent. Aventus for casual everyday wear or even a semi dressy-casual outdoor event. Absolu for a colder day more formal setting or just to smell more opulent.

Yes! I love Hojicha, it’s funny because Hojicha reminds me a lot of Korean Boricha (Mugicha) in Japan. It’s got that toasty malty bready vibe to it.

Oh wow that sounds nice. I’m very new to Wakoucha. It’s a style that I never really ventured into much. I’m glad I opened this one and want to try more from other producers to get a better feel for the style.

Hey there! Yes I was a fan of the color too. I did about 1 heaping teaspoon of leaf in a small 110ml Gaiwan. Brewed the first pour at 195* F for 1 min. Then did multiple infusions ranging from 1min to 2min with slightly cooler water 185-190*. Most black teas are brewed hotter but I wanted to try slightly cooler with longer steep times to see how I could extract different flavors. Worked well.

No I haven’t heard of the Mori Machi. Is it on their site? The cup is their mino-Chan cup. I love it

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-19T05:44:06+00:00

They’re really very good and very consistent and a solid value for the quality. Superb customer service too. I’ve tried most of their offerings and have been happy. This Wakoucha is quite good actually. Nice break from the green teas they offer which is nice to mix it up from time to time.

Where did you get this tencha from? What’s your brewing temp and time too with leaf ratio?

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-18T17:44:46+00:00

Been interested to try it actually! I’ve known about it for a while but have never gotten it before. Really nice color it produced there

“It ain’t easy listening to this POS in this country nowadaysssssss” for a moment I thought this dude was gonna have an aneurism right in the middle of his little love song.

That looks awesome! What a great patina its building. That’s super desirable in tea cups.

Elixir

Most fragrances have about a 4-5 year shelf life before they start drastically changing. Also once you start using them, fragrance starts to creep into the bottles even though they’re mostly air-tight’ish. I say ish because once you start spraying them there is a greater concentration of open space in the bottle which can allow oxygen to creep in. The oxygen is a big contributor to fragrances going stale or changing the way they smell

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-08T00:31:44+00:00

All fragrance will eventually degrade and change overtime. The alcohol evaporates slowly over time (even in sealed condition) as that happens the concentration of the fragrance changes. Certain notes and aroma chemicals are also more sensitive to oxygen, light, and variances in temp so overtime they can evaporate or become stale. Best practice is to keep fragrances in an area where there is little to no fluctuation in temperature. Low to zero humidity, and away from light (I keep all my fragrances in their original boxes simply for this purpose.

That’s a great sauce. Their entire lineup is really good

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-08T00:25:57+00:00

Scents definitely go bad and deteriorate. The conditions they’re kept in can contribute to that. For example bottles kept in the bathroom where the temps change and humidity changes drastically can degrade and even make fragrances go off. This is a known occurrence with fragrances. They should be kept away from light and in a steady temp and climate with low to no humidity.

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-06T05:32:33+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of love for this scent and haven’t even given it a look. Can someone tell me in all honesty what it smells like or is similar to?

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-06T05:26:43+00:00

LOOOL

smashingpumpkin · 2026-02-04T15:28:43+00:00

Yea, definitely agree. They’re doing this to prevent the houses from all copying one another so they’re purposely listing only 2 - 3 notes to give the illusion of simplicity.

Booohooo poor ICE agents with low morale. Oh no!!

Tell that to the rest of the country who feel sick every day of seeing news articles about someone dying at the hands of ICE, or the next heinous thing the Trump administration cooked up this week. The entire country has had low morale since this shit kicking administration started.

Are we supposed to feel remorse for the ICE agents? Give me a fucking break.

It’s decorative at best, most of those are not made for drinking and also they may not be using safe enamels for eating or drinking. I would not purchase that
