These also came in the mail yesterday. A new chasen (matcha bamboo whisk) and #worldteaexpo cup - courtesy of @joanijohnson6000 - to replace what was stolen earlier this week. I didn't ask her to; sje insisted. As is her kind-hearted way. I wrestled with the proper way to express my gratitude beyond a simple "thank you", which I already did, but words came up short. All that I can convey is that - through all the range of emotions I've gone through all week after the assault - it's the small gestures of support that keep my bruised head (and pride) above water. . . #grateful #gratitude #matchawhisk #teapeoplearethebestpeople #bruisedbutnotbroken https://www.instagram.com/p/By_VKNMg1iV/?igshid=3550g76mhf2g
