Dear Friends:

I won't be selling tea anymore. I cannot rely on my palate & don't want to be misleading people who purchase from me because
I have been misled by my own deficiencies. (Holy hell, I spelled that word correctly w/o spellcheck.)

I thank everyone who have given me a chance for further involvement w/ tea & life through transactions & comments about how
they taste the teas.

All the best to everyone.

I am off to Thailand tomorrow morning.

Administrators, please take away my vendor status; and I thank you for your help.

Ethan

Dear Ethan,

Thank you for the opportunity to try your teas over the years, and I hope that you stay around on the forum.

It'd be selfish of me to want to try your teas for just a little bit longer; in contrast, it's clearly a selfless act on your part to decide to stop.

All the best,
Andrew

This is disappointing news. I've greatly enjoyed your teas, some of which have been among my favourite Taiwanese oolongs in the past few years. I understand the reasoning behind your decision, but I'm nonetheless sad to see you leave the business. I also hope you'll continue to participate on this forum.

Sorry you need to end your business, but I hope your tastebuds are still up to enjoying tea for yourself.

I missed the chance of getting tea from you, Ethan, that's on me. Your humble and trustworthy commucation has been much appreciated, that's on you .

I had experienced a similar set back to my tea sensing keenness, having taste getting tepid and parting with good deal of psycho active effects. Much of a loss as it must have felt at the time to me, I'm finding still plenty of facets available that lead me to take it all as but a turn along a long journey. Making up with relishing texture rather than taste, doubling down on the ritual performance, those where my new companions taking the vacant sensory spots.

Wish you grow some new perks to make the tea more fun still! Should it be not for problems on my part, I'd lurch for your offerings should you get the shop open again.

Cheers!
