Guys -

A week from now, if everything goes as planned, I will be on my way (first
time in 18 years) back to the old country. In-between geological maps and
visits to high-elevation gold mines I hope to have a taste of what looks
like a unprecedented tea frenzy between Baltics and Urals.
Reports have it that puers creations go for much $$$ per cup at Moscow tea
clubs with teamasters from China and Japan doing the art. I am skeptical,
but we'll see. Will write in detail when I come back.

Sasha.
