I'm surprised how someone who drinks so much tea hasn't really gotten into actual tea leaves instead of bags.

Once I got used to the taste of green tea (outside of the bag), I haven't been able to drink "bagged tea" without cringing. Right now I'm drinking a mix of Sea-buckthorn and goji berries-green tea, and it's quite amazing.

I hope I can somehow get you to try the real thing, cause there's quite some difference. I think that a lot of people here who drink a lot of "real" tea will agree with me.

I guess it could possibly be hard for you to find a good tea shop, depending on where you live, but if you do try "real" tea, I think you won't go back ever again, and realize how much it's worth getting the real stuff despite some hassle.

I hope I've convinced you : ).

Yeah, I know that real tea is better. Last time we were in Hong Kong my family brought back a lot of tea leaves. And...it is really good.

But it is the problem you stated, there aren't any tea shops anywhere near me. The nearest place where I can get actual leaves, which is an asian supermarket, is a long ride by bus.


It's worth it to stock up. As far as I know tea does not get old for quite some time, at least I haven't experienced any diminishing of taste in several months.

Right now, I'm myself quite new to the world of "real" tea, I'm really interested in learing more I feel inspired by this thread to go out and find new and exciting blends/types of leaves.

I was really surprised to see pics of tea bags in the op of someone talking about tea, but that was already mentioned

Luckily I live in a region of Germany in which tea is very popular, apparently if this region was its own country it would be ranked 4th in the list of countries by tea consumption per capita. Due to this fact there are tea shops everywhere and although there is a pretty unique tea that is specific to this region ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Frisia#Tea_culture_in_East_Frisia]see here[/url]) you can get pretty much anything you want I guess.

Personally I don't know much about Chinese or Japanese teas, I usually drink Darjeeling or Ceylon. I mostly drink black tea, but I also enjoy green & yellow teas.
