Let’s hope all our Steepster Yunnan friends have escaped this disaster.
Fortunately, Angel Chen and TeaVivre are in Fujian. Hopefully, their Yunnan associates and growers are also well.
Hearts and prayer go out. There was also the typhoon in Taiwan a couple weeks ago.
Tragedy hitting tea rich area.
I keep thinking about this, am just stunned. Tea is more than just leaves, it is the people who bring it to the world.
I agree as we all know some people involved in this area. Tea is their gift to us and now we give them prayers.
mrmopar, How are Scott and his colleges at YunnanSourcing.com and the Kunming Wholesale tea market?

“The local government and tea companies are trying to boost the tea industry in Ya’an, one of China’s largest tea production areas, a year after the region was hit by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake.”

I think they are ok. I had put an order in with them and it shows shipped with an Email from them so I hope all is ok.
YS may be having some problems too, I got my email showing “Shipped” last week but this morning I woke to find a second emails for the same order also stating that it just “Shipped”
I’m not sure, maybe something is wrong
The postal service may be having some infrastructure problems. My first thought went to the people at YS but the whole thing is just a tragedy.
