TITLE: THE TEA MARKET
LOCATION: 人和茶叶批发市场 (THE WHOLESALE TEA MARKET)
MISSION: BUY SOME TEA!
DATE: 2008-12-15
A really cool experience, buying tea. You browse the shops and when you find one you like, just pop in and sit down and start sampling. Great to be able to taste the tea beforehand, since even tea made from the same type of leaf will vary in taste depending on season, soil, location, preparation etc. Me and Erik spent more than an hour in one shop and afterwards were in dire need of a toilet. The shopkeepers are more than willing to let you sample and will keep the tea flowing non-stop until you leave.
