I've been trying a bit of different ones....but I enjoy my black and green teas. The best ones I've had usually come from sushi resturants and taste much better than the stuff I am getting off the shelves of Safeway. Where the tea drinkers at?

 

<3 ten ren green tea
box of 100 from costco for like $6

 

go to your local chinese restaurant and ask them for a bag of their generic green tea

also find an actual tea shop, you can usually get free samples and stuff from them to try different ones out

black>green>white>herbal>everything else

 

I have a box of Ten Ren Black Tea. I like it. But have tasted better. I will try their Green Tea.



^ I dont know of any local tea shops :uhhok:

For good green tea, I'd hit the Asian markets. As far as Japanese green tea goes, the cheaper "peasant" tea (they mix rice in with the tea) is actually better than the more expensive tea ceremony stuff (too bitter).

 

Hmmm they are all in Chinatown h: I have to remember to go next time I am there.

Interesting. How do I know which is a peasant tea or not? ANy brands you like?

 

good tea does not come prepackaged in ready to serve bags.


you'd have to hit up chinatown or chinese markets for the real deal. but then u'd have to know what to look for also without getting ripped off of the generic stuff.

i drink it almost every night. my parents are hardcore tea enthusiasts and drinkers. they get the real deal from china and hong kong everytime they go.

black tea, red tea and some green tea is the best.

 

I get my green tea from Ranch 99 h:

 

Yea, my mom brings out the good tea during Lunar New Year. It just comes loose and she has it in a jar.

Hey, HAN has never had a "yum cha" meet huh.
