Hello there,
I'm looking for suppliers of chinese tea and rooibos, but I don't like stale stuff, so having fresh tea is a must. Do you have any personal recommendations? Cheers, |

Good morning,
TeaGschwendner launched a new English website last October and is a pretty good bet for what you're looking for. The company has been around since the 70's over in Europe and currently has shops dedicated to loose leaf teas in 7 countries on four continents. They just came to the US but they buy direct from growers and have an incredible selection of loose teas. Over the course of the year they have the new pluckings and flushes flown direct from some of the better gardens to their shops around the world so you'll find the freshest teas possible in the us. Hope this helps. Charles. |

Talking about Vietnamese tea - the history (part1)
Vietnam is on of the largetst and oldest tea producing countries in the world. In some research document, the tea trees found along Vietnam's northern border with China contain the oldest genetiic structure known to exist. This is indication that the inhabitants of what is today, Vietnam may have been the first to taste one of the world's most popular beverages. Vietnamese have been growing tea for over 2000 year, but this fact has not been recorded as well as Chinese or Japanese. So, many people think that Vietnamese Tea is just history of few hundred years ago. But if you know some popular songs of VIetnamese, you will find many relations with tea. It appeared for thousand years. Many Vietnamese people use tea everyday, for past and present. Most the famous people in history like tea as one of most favourite tastes. For example: Nguyen Du (Originer of Truyen Kieu - well know novel by poetry), Nguyen Trai - a famous man of Le Dynasty (14th Century), in Unesco Famous People Document, write about his hobbies: tea , poetry and moon. Not only using in normal meetings, tea is also used calm down an angry friend: Vietnamese people engaged in heated quarrels are offered a cup of tea by their friends to help dilute their anger.
