[quote=DENNISLEE,371707]haha, If you come over to Guangzhou, I might be able to take you to the right place to shop good quality teas and teawares, and teach u to judge, distinguish but anyway, here is the suggestion & general rules that may help u: 1. "Ma Lian Dao" Tea City (马连道) in Beijing should be a good place to shop teas & teawares. Every taxi driver would know that place.haha 2. Deside beforehand which types of tea you would like to shop; Green, Yellow, White, Pu'er, Black, Oolongs and the bugdet for half a kilo (500gram), Oolongs & Pu'er are best for brewing in Taiwanese way (KungFu Tea in chinese). 3. taste or sample the teas in order to make up your mind, generally (may have an exception), you would not taste any bitter, astringency or acid from the liquor and the liquor should be translucent if the teas are good in quality and brewed in the right way. ps: dont judge the teas by price but by taste~~~ u may find a tea with good taste selling at a low price & a tea with bad taste selling at a high price. 4. always remember to haggle over the price, dont be shy & weak on it, as the sellers always bring up the price for you to bargain, so sick but have no idea, try ur best 5. as for the tea sets, tea pot (cheap Yixing purple clay pot) for 100-200rmb, tea tray (cheap) for 80-150rmb, tea cup (cheap) for 2-5 rmb, public cup (cheap) for 5-10rmb, stainless steel tea filler for 2rmb, and the rest of the sets for 35-50 rmb. 6. there are other options, u can also shop at local tea chain stores such as Wu Yu Tai (吴裕泰),Zhang Yi Yuan (张一元),Tian Fu Ming Cha (天福茗茶), they are a bit more standard, but a bit expensive. but good for jackeroo.[mood15] if u have any other concerns, pls e-mail me at lovelyxiang@hotmail.com or post them here~~~[/quote]
