The flight attendant bows and apologizes for the fact that I stood too long...
teaformeplease1 asked: I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed your posts about this buying trip to China. Traveling is never easy but your pictures are beautiful and I'm sure that the teas you are bringing back will be worth it.

We host an annual Spring Harvest party, where the latest greatest teas will be presented, my trip and all its macabre particulars are shared, and over the years, customers connect to the tea artisans like old friends.
