The Tea Shoppe in Shanghai

This is a place where traditional Chinese tea is sold. Teas of various types are found in these bundles including high quality types.

Bundles of tea of various types line the shelves. These circular bundles are tea leaves pressed into a cake form.

Later, some of these bundles are then repackaged into the familiar boxes and round containers as seen here.

A huge block of low grade tea leaves. A cup full of tea leaves is easily extracted. These are then put in a porcelain container where one pours boiling water. A few washes later, several cups can be extracted and drunk. The colour is a light to moderate yellow. The smell is distinctive and strong.


Yet more bundles of Chinese tea. Chinese tea is distinctively different from English tea. It is drunk as it is, without the accompaniment of sugar or milk. On a final note, I do sell Chinese tea wholesale. Thus, if you to purchase some, you can drop me an email.
