Description

Is there a teabag in the box? I dunno, I decided to NOT solve this one. And the solution envelope is also still closed. I would guess this puzzle has not been solved, probably ever, and just went into storage where it has lived for over 25 years. Wow... it is a cute little box and lovingly adorned with stamps and stickers to give you a full exotic tea experience.
