Yeah, valerian is gross. It also gives me weird dreams.
That trip sounds really exciting! Which parts of China will you be visiting? If I went to China or Taiwan, I’d toss out everything in my suitcase at the end of the trip and bring back as much tea as I could carry!
Literally we brought four suitcases to Taiwan and three of them were empty. They were all BURSTING on the way back, and there’s definitely still stuff I would have gotten if I could.
Tea will for sure be coming back with me as the whole month there will be spent in tea fields in in Hubei province. One River Tea sent out a mailer for a summer volunteer opportunity that I’m taking advantage of while I can.
OMFG! derk!!! Ahhhhh, I’m so so so excited for your experience and learning and heart. Yaaaasssssssss <3
Thanks tea-sipper! I’m about 3 weeks away from departure. I’m concerned that my visa application will be denied. Since re-opening to international travel, China has created a stringent application process for Americans (and maybe others?). Guess I’ll find out early next week! It’s been a very stressful process!!
I was a little worried something like that might happen BUT I hope everything goes as smooth as possible so you can visit some awesome tea gardens!
That’s awesome! About China, not the musty feet.

Sending allllllllll the bureaucratic gobbledygook sweep-away vibes toward every dank cubicle those papers meet. Go go, little portal openers.
