Hello- we are developing an index to the best tea houses and tea shops for the eG Coffee and Tea Forum. It will include the best of China. So, where do you go for a good "steeping" in China?
Also, what do you like about your favorite tea house or tea shop? The tea? The ambiance? The service? Do you have a favorite tea at your favorite place?
