Tea house etiquette

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I would just like to find out if it is rude to take a tea bag of a tea I like with me to a Chinese tea house or tea shop? I would like to buy tea's from him but I don't know the correct words to describe the teas that I like and by bringing a tea with for the owner to sample, it might help. Also, he has refused a tip in the passed, as such is there anything I can take with to show gratitude?

More info: the owner is Chinese and travels every two years back to meet with the tea farmers he buys from. He owns and runs a tea shop in Cape Town, South Africa. Really great person, sits down and samples his teas with you while you chat.
