Where to Buy Tea in Shanghai Any more recommendations about buying tea in Shanghai? I recently wandered past a tea shop located in Xintiandi. Everything there was beautifully presented and at least had at least an appearance of high quality, but I resisted buying because the prices seemed exorbitant. What about smaller teashops run by individual merchants? recently I remember coming across one on a side street not far from Nanjing Lu. Once again I resisted buying because I did not know what prices should be. Are teas in these shops usually marked up a certain percentage and need to be bargained down? If someone has a link to a site out there which lists the proper values for different types of tea generally available here, that would be great! I would also like to know a place where you can get good quality tea-ware at fair prices, like the clay teapot sets, etc. Can anybody give some suggestions? thanks |
