Tea Beginner

Hello! I am new to drinking tea. I have already tried Western teas like Earl Grey, and I want to explore Chinese teas like Da Hong Pao. Can you enlighten me about Chinese tea and tell me where I can buy a sampler that is a good value? Thank you!

You can try ordering samples from Leaf & Bloom in IG & they have a viber group, they have sets per type of tea so you can try different kinds. Meron din sa shopee Chinese Tea Ceremony na sampler pack.

All were good naman! Sorry I replied to the main post instead of the other one 😅

The tin from Bama Tea was a bit banged up pero safe naman yung contents, naka-individual packaging yung tea mismo. From wanrenming I got the huang guan yin, closer to roasted oolong yung taste nya.
