Last night I had a tea nightmare where I went on vacation and packed a bunch of tea...like 15 different teas, all in the same suitcase along with my clothes and things. This suitcase was like Mary Poppins' bag, and had more space on the inside. But most of the teas I brought were bigger leaf teas and kind of delicate, and I had shoved them all in wherever they would fit and then stuffed the suitcase with clothes. Of course when I went to take them out they were all crushed beyond recognition.

And the ones that weren't delicate had gone bad. My Long Jing wasn't crushed but the leaves had gone all brown and smelled terrible. I was so upset in the dream I felt kinda sick. Then I woke up, still grieving for the loss of all my good tea, for a good minute or so feeling depressed. Then, I realized that I was in bed and that none of that had happened and all my tea was fine! Such relief!
