The Mysterious Tea Bag

This is a very crazy story

So, I was given a tea box gift as care package from one of my good friends and it looks very posh, please see the picture below

It is a nice numbered tea bag with description as to which tea one should drink according to moods or day of the week, this picture below can help a lot

Though the letters and numbers are small, you can zoom in to read them easily. Anyways, they are labeled by numbers with corresponding varieties of tea. This is how it looks inside when one opens the tea box

Then of course, we can find the numbered tea bags inside a nicely designed tea bag paper containers

To continue the story, I ran out of my usual genmaicha looseleaf one day which prompted me to bring this tea box to the office. It was okay sitting on the metal cabinet for a long time, untouched by any pests or rats which may want to devour any food items left in our workspace.

However, come one weekend, the rats might have gotten too hungry because it was a long weekend, when I got to the office and opened my cabinet, lo and behold the tea box was torn apart with such small teethmarks on all the edges and the tea bags were spread all over, looking like it suffered a blow of ravenous scoundrel. It was indeed a shocking mess.

But remember, the teabags were numbered and I only drank one tea bag the previous week so I made a quick accounting of the tea bags that were lying messily on the cabinet, fortunately some remained untouched so I still recovered them but some were desperately torn apart, so I just decided to trash them into the garbage can.

This story gets exciting, as I was counting all the tea bag numbers, all 24 of them were accounted for, except for one tea bag, you have a guess which number is missing?

Of course, what else, the tea bag number 13!

I derisively laughed at myself, why oh why does this number keep bugging me.

Will the tea bag number 13 please show up? But no, the world will not listen. It didn't show any signs that it will come up any time soon. So, work started and on I went with my day.

However, today in the office (which is actually yesterday afternoon, because I am typing now in my house around 5:20AM) I saw a very weird thing, please take a look my dears:

Wedged between the folders, I saw a familiar looking paper bag. Upon closer inspection, it was a tea bag and yes, of course, when I checked the number, it turned out to be that missing tea bag. Finally found after 2 weeks of being missing. 

You can see the teethmarks at the bottom of the tea bag, but why did the scoundrel hid this tea bag from me?

Well, maybe the office rat has a fondness for this number haha!

Okay end of story, I need to prepare for work.

Laters again my dears.
