“Dear PoPville,

I was walking in Dupont on 21st and P today (1/5) and noticed that the Valley Brook Tea shop closed! No signs and the space was cleared out. I saw that they moved to a temporary location in the Ven at Embassy Row Hotel around the corner.

I hope they survive since the shop is run by such a lovely couple and we desperately need tea places in the area!!”
