wing hop fung chinatown and monterey park - suggestions?

i only tried some blacks, my favorites so far:

Yunnan Black Gold Tip Rare : very smooth, yet strong taste,

Qi men red tea

the Keemun was ok. also a cheap Green tea was so-so, maybe it was old...

I was at the Chinatown store in early August, and tasted (and bought!) a Dancong oolong (#1095). Try it while you're there.

Hello,

My first post here...

I heard the Monterey Park one is a better WHF to go to in terms of selections, but I haven't had the chance to go there yet. I've been to the LA Chinatown one a few times before. It's ok...decent enough tea and accessory selections. The accessories they carry are mostly the "everyday" type...they don't carry many, if at all, luxury accessories. In hindsight, I purchased a "yixing" pot that I now think is a fake. Also expect incessant sales pressure from the sales ladies, especially if you trouble them to brew something for you ("This is good tea, right? Take a pound, ok?").

Enjoy your visit to LA.

Cheers,

Phyll
