Default The Earthquake Effect Pu-erh Tea

I received this note today from Gorgon (Dragon Tea House - vendor):


Hello Shen,

Thanks for your concern and kindness. The pu-erh was struck by an
earthquake yesterday, 3 people dead, 341 injured. It is bad news,
however, it is not so bad as you had imagined. China center and local
governments as well as many domestic enterprises have sent money and
materials to Pu-erh county. The total amount is about $130 million
now. The state premier is in Yunnan now. I guess we could manage to
handle this disaster. Actually, there is only limited impact on Pu-erh
tea, the production and supply is in order, as usual. Thanks for your
letter and wish you a nice day!

Sincerely,
Gordon
