A lot of tea but three times more expensive than in the rest of the country... I never buy tea in Taipei.

Hi all
Being in the uk I have been a tea drinker my whole life!
But past 3-5 yrs or so I have gotten into loose leaf tea - gong fu style.
My favourite teas are usually oolong.
Particularly Dancongs and Taiwan oolongs. Though I have tried all sorts.
Look forward to learning more.

I’m always interested to hear how long time tea drinkers (drinking primarily tea bags with milk and/or sugar) get started with loose leaf - gong fu. I’ve told some older family or friends who grew up in London, Scotland or South Africa (raised on tea bags and milk) about my tea drinking preferences and they have absolutely no clue what I’m talking about.
Me too!
I watch a lot of UK TV and film and can only cringe a bit when they're drinking tea, imagining all the unpleasant experiences I've had wih English and Irish breakfast and Earl Grey teas....it can't all be as awful as my taste-memories....
and, WELCOME!
thanks for the kind welcome.
To be honest i actually have no clue how i first started. I must have seen something online, and then shopped around and ordered some. I do remember it was a Mi Lan Xiang Dancong that first grabbed me -- i realized how great tea could actually be!
I would say overall the English tea bags can be pretty bad.
I have experience the dreaded fishy aroma coming from many tea bag brews - it fades but you can catch it for a short while -- enough to know how low quality the tea is. So for a country who prides themselves on being tea lovers, we could do a lot better i think

.Hi Everyone!
I started Teachat last year, found this forum early this year, and noticed here has a lot more activities , so that motivated me to migrate over to TeaForum.
How long have you been drinking tea?
I have been drinking tea for most of my life, mostly red tea in childhood because that's what my parents had. I worked in a dim sum restaurant in my late teen that was when I was introduced to various Chinese teas. I drank mostly coffee and was on the chase for the "perfect cup" until 5+ years ago when I decided to reconnect with tea as a healthier choice of caffeine.
What kind of tea do you drink?
I drink mostly Sheng Pu erh during day time, once a while I'll be lazy and brew a huge pot of Shu Pu erh that would last me the whole day. Night time, I prefer Taiwanese Oriental Beauty to enjoy the evening. Once in a blue moon, I would brew random teas such as Taiwanese Sun Moon Lake Red Tea, Dong Din Oolong, Tieguanyin, Jin Jun Mei, and Lapsang Souchong.
How do you prepare your tea?
Sheng Pu erh - 90s Di Cao Qing from EOT, gaiwan, benshan lvni from MudandLeaves, 80s zhu ni from TheChineseTeaShop, and a zini pot that was given to me.
Shu Pu erh - gaiwan or a ceramic glazed cast iron teapot from Cost Plus World Market
Oriental Beauty - a tiny zhu ni pot from Chawangshop, gaiwan
And the rest of the random teas I have been using the gaiwan
What tea knowledge are you interested in exploring right now?
I am mostly intrigued by Pu erh teas, sampling Pu erh teas from various villages and mountains, and learning about aging Pu erh.
What factors lead you to delve into the world of tea, and what is keeping you there?
Zisha is the factor that connected me to Pu erh. I was on a trip to China hunting for my first Zisha pot 5-6 years ago, I ended up not finding any good ones, so an uncle who took me for the hunt gave me one of his pots that onset my journey. It has been a few years, and my collection of Zisha pots have grown, and I continue to enjoy the relationship between Zisha and Pu erh tea.
What is your location?
I am in Northern California, United States. A lot of Asian/Chinese people but very few tea shops I have found. If you know any good ones in the San Francisco Bay or Sacramento, please let me know
