I got 2 or 3 different grades of Long Jing. Last year was in China, so bought some there as well. Although recently, I've also acquired a taste for Tie Kuan Yin.

Last time used to like Tung Ting Oolong from Taiwan, but now prefer Long Jing as well.

I've bought 2 sets of zisha pots and cups from China as well. Everyday in office, I also drink from a zisha cup. I feel it makes the tea more fragrant and keep longer.

One other tip. I like drinking loose tea leaves, not those that come pre-packed in sachets as they are "broken" leaves or "tea dust". But hate to wash up. Found at Daiso, they sell tea bag sachets that you can put our own tea leaves in. So get the best of both worlds. One packet of 50 bags only cost $2.

Drinking from loose tea leaves is the man...I love my tea from tea leaves.

Currently I am drinking,1 Pu er loose tea leaf,green tea and tie kuan yin in prepacked tea bags.

I used to not like Pu er but not that's the only loose tea leaf 1 I have...LL have to start liking it lor..haha coz the green tea and tiekuanyin taste like crap man.

Sigh have to wait for those to finish then I can open up my fav jasmine green tea can!

If you are drinking in the office,then yes the tea bag sachets is useful...but at home,I would prefer to not use the tea bags and just filter my tea. Haha,I bought this cool little filter from yue hwa that day,very small 1 just nice for a tea cup.
