Best Online Store for Chinese Teas (ship to US)?

Shen,

Thanks for the good words about Teaspring. I didn't think that maybe the tea was coming from afar.

I guess I have been on a journey from Celestial Seasons, to Tazo, to Adagio, to Upton and now moving more towards green and Oolong from more "boutique" suppliers, if I can use that term, meant in the best way.

I am waiting on:

Feng Huang Dan Cong Shui Xian Jade Tie Guan Yin Bi Tan Lan Xue Pu Ti Cha

Right now, I am buying a lot of small sample packs to try to find out what I like and what I don't.

Do you use the same type of tea pot for all of your teas? Do you use any type of special water for your tea? I had a guy at a Sears store try to sell me a reverse osmosis system, saying that he was a tea drinker and that it made a big difference in taste.

Regards,

Alton

Hey Alton,

This may be a great topic to start a new thread rather than buried in this one as it is a valid question and I'm sure will get some conversation started. (at least I'd take it on :)

Agreeing with Dominic - A new topic. Wow! I've just had the 3 of the teas on your list. I left remarks on the site. The Pu Ti Cha is extrodinary. I'm sure you'll enjoy it! A very special, special tea. The Shui Xian is a great buy. Very, very flavourful and tenacious for the price. Hardly a "Chinese restaurant tea". Shen
