Well, folks, it's been fun and extremely informative, but I'm going to be out of contact for a while. I am going back to China and the land of my favorite teas on the 5th, so my offer still stands on the tea export idea. I will do my best to learn about it and i'll be accepting reqs when I get settled.
We'll see how it goes or if the costs would be worth it; it's worth a shot, I think.
Anybody know how to get access to this group without a reader? ...besides teatalk? haha.
