Tea has made that pain go away ( taking it every day for years now). Unfortunately, I stopped drinking it, and got sick again. So drink as much tea as you can ( obviously with balance since everything in this life needs to be with moderation). And you will feel much lighter, and with energy It makes my pain more easy to take. I thank you for this thread since I probably won´t be alive if it weren´t for tea. Sorry for my english, I try my best. | ||

I don't go around collecting tea knowledge, unless it pertains to NesTea, but my English half enjoyed this article by Christopher Hitchens immensely. Very much what my Grandfather would make me when I was a kid. | ||

This is a local tea shop I get my tea from. My favorites there are the Regal Rooiboos, the Genmaicha Green, and the Africana Red. I have a thing for Rooiboos they are so good as iced tea. I dabbled trying out Teavana, pretty good for someone just getting into tea, if they have a local shop, go into one, the staff are always very knowledgeable. | ||

Don't bother with the online shops, you won't get what you paid for. The Chinese scene doesn't recognize brands, only cultivar - kind of like how a sparking wine is champagne if grown in Champagne region of France. Within a single cultivar, you'll get grades that's worth tens of dollars a lb to tens of thousands of dollars a lb. There's no universal standard to judge the grades - it completely relies on the purchaser's experience and understanding. If a merchant sees a fish, they'll 斩你, especially when you don't get to see the product like when you purchase online. Even the cheap stuff can be quite good. I am drinking $20/lb Golden Buddha/Tai Gui Ying/铁观音 for my pedestrian drink. Yep. I always bring back tons of tea to the States every time I go to China. I give it out as gifts. As for my personal preferences, I love the generic jasmine teas that every Chinese person drinks. That and chrysanthemum tea (not technically a tea). On the darker side, I also enjoy Darjeeling tea and occasionally some Earl Grey. Lapsong Souchongs are great too. Love their campfire nature and the smell that accompanies a good cup! | ||

I am from Australia, and if you want to add T2 to the list of sellers, I saw you had UK and Europe, but why not Australia/SEA. Their tea is very good quality, and quite cheap. | ||

Never was a fan of the more regular teas like English Breakfast and Earl Gray, don't think they taste... anything, to be honest. Then again, I am a bit bored with these fruity teas. Anyone got tips for some spicy teas? I'm looking at the teatower.com website, but I'm having a hard time deciding on which I'd like. | ||

There are shops where famous Chinese brewmasters are willing to put their name on the product, that has to mean something. But yeah, with most quality products you can potentially be fooled, it's our job to check the origin or try samples. | ||
