[quote=GUEST24448,371701]haha, too bad, if u come over to Guangzhou, I might be able to bring you to the right place to buy good quality teas with reasonable prices and the tea sets. plus teach u how to judge, distinguish but anyway, here is the suggestion & general rule that may help u: 1. Beijing "Ma Lian Dao" Tea City(马连道茶城)would be a good place to shop teas & teawares 2. deside beforehand which types of tea you would like to shop; Green, Yellow, White, Black, Pu'er, Oolongs & the budge for half a kilo(500gram). Oolongs & Pu'er are the ones that can be brewed in Taiwanese way or kungfu tea way 3. taste or sample the teas to make up ur mind, generally, u would not taste any bitter or astringency from the liquor and the liquor should be translucent if the teas are good in quality & brewed in the right way. 4. haha, always remember to haggle over the price, dont be too shy & weak on it, as the sellers always quote the high price for you to bargain 5. regarding the tea sets, 1 tea pot (cheap Yixing purple clay pot) for around 100-200rmb, tea tray (normal) for 80-150rmb, little tea cup (cheap) for 2 - 5 rmb public cup (cheap) 5-10 rmb, stainless steel filler (cheap) for 2- 4 rmb..and other sets for 35rmb~~~~ just the general guide~~~ if u have any other question, just feel free to contact me at lovelyxiang@hotmail.com [/quote]
