Beautiful and delicious Pu-Er and Duyun Maojian Tea from Guizhou Province in China. I love how each one is preciously packaged for a pot of tea. A gift from my child after her adventure in Shanghai. Thank you, my sweet girl.

Hey, look, it's ! She just finished covering the RNC, but we managed to grab a bite and chat before she headed to the airport. When your bestie is around, you have to make time! It's always so much fun to get together with you, Nancy! Just like old times. 🥰
