No tea shops in CZ?
there should be...
maybe you should check some UK websites as well.
Good luck

There are, but usually not what I'd expect. You can buy common teas almost everywhere, but it's usually too expensive and not exactly outstanding. Of course, there are some exceptions I know of, but especially good Pu-Erh tea is hard to get here.

Also, I've had some pu-erh tea before, bought in cz, and was not amazed. Until I ordered some good stuff from china. I was amazed then and fell in love. One would say it's the same stuff, but it's not. My friend jokes that they probably sell here what's left on the floor of tea factory after the good tea is made :-)

I'm currently looking for a good source for taiwan/japan teas, preferably in taiwan/japan (I do trust them more than local resellers and don't mind slow delivery, as long as I get a good tea). Unforunately, I've had little luck.

It sounds fancy, but is just a great tea. You buy it in cakes, chip off some and infuse it several times (usually from 5 seconds to several minutes, it depends on how strong you like your tea), every time it has a bit different taste. Try it!

By the way, where do you get your teas? I live in czech republic and the vendors are not good (either too expensive, or low quality). I buy pu-erh from yunnansourcing.com, but they only have a pu-erh and some green tea. They have great stuff.

Hello,

I'm thinking about what to discuss here to get my 5 posts, so what about tea? Are there some tea lovers here, at bitcointalk?

I love Pu-Erh tea, especially raw blends (don't mind young, since I like the bitter taste) and some sweetish ripe ones.

What kind of tea do you like? Do you have some tips for a great tea to try?

(I've just came up with this topic as I smashed my small gaiwan lid while washing it, what a shame Sad)
I wake up every morning and have some irish breakfast tea! Cheesy

I'm still exploring other types of tea though, I'll try that Pu-Erh tea, sounds fancy Smiley
