Re: Which Hong Kong vendors or tea houses can you recommend?
You can look into Fukien Tea Co. if you like oolong/Tie Guan Yin. If you like death-roast oolong. 8-) But it is good tea to pair with dim-sum or greasy food. In any case skip their lower price offerings and go for what is most expensive. Your stomach will thank you. its not death-roast, its old-sty...
