Also, you can email me pictures of the things that you think they want to buy and I can tell you an approximate price. Be careful in the tea shops that are on the main roads and in the more popular areas of the towns...they are the really big rip-off places.
Stay away from TianFu in Shanghai in Beijing if at all possible...although they have some nice tea stuff (pots, etc), they are sold for probably 2 or 3 times what they would sell at any small shop.
Depending on what time they go, tell them to look for some new teas...it's around first pick time for Tie Guan Yin and Pu'er now!
Thanks, She is going in June, I might just leave it up to her to pick stuff out, as im not an authority on tea either.
