What is the best type of tea?

[Pannonian]

hmmm, I don't live near London. Unless you are refering to a chain of shops or a brand?

Try phoning Loon Fung and Seewoo asking if they'll do deliveries. Agree on a set number of a set product (say you want tieguanyin tea and let them specify the details), add P&P, add some more (lubrication), send a cheque for the total, and they might do so. Get a working relationship going and they might even direct you to other goodies.

I don't think I'm that much of a tea enthusiast yet - though I'll keep that in mind.

Longjing is a very good type of tea.

My preference is for green tea of course.
