I'm writing this at my desk with a rather tasty cup of iced houjicha tea, made in a recently acquired large (840mL) kyusu. I must confess that there was some cheating with the brewing, due to a bit of impatience - I used about 100mL of boiling water on the tea leaves to help liberate the flavour more quickly, then filled up the rest of the teapot with pre-cooled water, and left it for 5 minutes or so. The result was a little bit mild, but just what I felt like.
In other news, Hibiki-an (http://www.hibiki-an.com/) set a new land speed record for their express postage. I put an order in late on Sunday night (the 20th), and confirmation of shipping was received in the morning of the 21st, less than 12 hours after the order was put in. The package arrived early in the morning of Thursday the 24th. Wow.
