Dear Tea friends, I know a lot of people had mentioned the poor quality of chinese restaurant tea before, and I was thinking that the fact that I like it was attributable to the fact that I haven't had a lot of experience with anything other than Lipton and others of that level.
Our local chinese restaurant uses bagged tea to make their tea and it is good, so much that I usually have a pot and a half or two when I go to the restaurant. Recently there was a chinese, Japanese, american buffet restaurant opened up in our town and I went last night. I've been there twice before and the food wasn't bad, but I guess I never ordered tea before. What they brought me had no flavor at all and only minimal color. the served it in cups with dark interiors so you couldn't tell, but I poured it out on my plate to see. LOL
If you are going to a chinese restaurant how do you get good tea? do you send back your free pot of "tea"? or offer to pay for good tea or bring your own tea. the tea was hot enough to brew some Oolong in, so I could have actually brewed some if I had thought to bring some tea bags or loose tea.
Thanks, Kitty
