Tea Shop in Dalian?

Hi all, So after much waiting I'm finally fulfilling my dream of living and working in China. I haven't settled on a destination yet, but there's a good chance I'll end up in Dalian.

I realize Dalian is a ways a way from the tea growing/consuming part of China, but being a modern, wealthy city, which attracts people from around the country, it must have a decent tea shop (or so I hope).

Anyone been there recently, or, better yet, lived there, and know where to find a good tea shop?

I'll post similar inquiries should I end up elsewhere.

Cheers, Nico

Well, I would like to be the first to welcome you to the chaos that is China. Northerners aren't really into drinking tea as much as the Southerners. The types of shops you will find are usually artsy little numbers that are sorta havens for rich people with nothing to do. You MIGHT be able to find some decent tea in Dalian, but it would be unlikely. The thing about China is the further from the source of the goods that you want, the lower quality and more expensive the stuff would likely to be.

If you are coming to China for tea mostly, you should try the South. Although, it is sorta culturally barren around here. If you are coming to China for culture, choose anywhere but the South. I like tea, so I'm here...down South.

Hi Alex, Thanks so much! I'm sure I'll make it to Beijing often. That is, if I end up in Dalian. I still haven't decided on a final destination, but Dalian seems likely. I'm hoping the lack of tea culture will be made up by excellent and plentiful seafood.
