Where to buy tea/teaware

[ashmanq]

Hi, it's been a while since I posted or have frequented the cafe part of the forum as its been a while since I've enjoyed some good quality Chinese tea. Work seemed to have gotten in the way of things but now I'm back.

Can anyone recommend online stores (or brick and mortar stores in Scotland) who sell good quality tea and tea ware? I've bought from jingtea.com but am looking to what else I'd available. I distinctly remember that there was a shop on eBay that had a large range of teas and tea ware but can't remember it's name.


Thanks in advance

Here are a couple in the UK ; are you looking for a specific type of Chinese tea / tea ware ?
Do you like tea from other countries ?

Im not really looking for anything specific and would like to try teas from other countries. It's just that Chinese tea was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of traditional tea.

This chap is a member here ... http://www.jas-etea.com/ and while I don't know the shipping costs to England, it's pretty reasonable to Canada.

Yunnan Sourcing is another good one.

If I'm not mistaken, member Proinsias is from Scotland. He knows his tea, and may be able to help with local suggestions.

If you are looking for puer, yunnan sourcing is good. For other Chinese teas, I like Minriver tea. They ship all over
