I just got it too. What a shame I actually just placed a TINY order with him a couple of days ago and I do mean TINY two small samples only. I will have to keep my eye on the sale – there are two items I really want but a bit pricey. The sad part is I am sure I will love the teas and they will be gone. I have not seem them elsewhere.

I just placed my first and only order tonight after seeing his note on twitter. Sad he’s closing. Really happy he’ll still be a part of the community!

Oh that’s indeed a little sad!
I like the zealong they offered, both the quality and the price! I wrote about it last year.

I would get more zealong from them for the last time, as you don’t know when it would ever again be available in the States for such price!

thanks everyone for the kind words. it’s been a terribly sad process closing things down, but i’m going to have more free time in the end. also, a few people know this already but i’m writing a book on tea, i’m about 1/3 of the way done. please keep in touch! i’m still going to be tweeting (@worldoftea) and blogging (worldoftea.org)!

That is really sad. It is a pity but I just found your tea blog was also great.
