I grew this one from Kitazawa Seed this summer and it is one of the best tasting beans I have grown in a long time. These were so tender that they can be eaten straight from the garden. They have a slight sweet, tender flavor to them and not "beany" or "fibrous" like some of the other common varieties. Very heat tolerant and can stand up to triple digits without any sign of wilting. Definitely on my list for 2008.
