It's so bad, I even miss Purple Vaca

Oh, hello to my tea world. I have and continue to miss you. Chun Ming is gone...new teas have arrived...will I recognize you when I return? What new tea making gadgets will have come about in my absence? I do know one thing, I will be able to smell you again whilst I munch on scones and chai shortbread.
Spell check does not recognize chai and this is sad.
Have the air pots been replaced? Do we have any more glass mugs, because I know a certain Pi Lo Chun fan who would be quite heartbroken to find his tea in a white mug. Does the vacuum still work, or does it spit out leaves again?
I have so many questions that cannot be answered until I return. In the meantime, I am thinking of you, my little tea store...
