Well, what kind of teas do you like? I'll first recommend looking for
black teas... there should be some sort of keemun, and a yunnan, and
maybe a litchi black tea.

If you find any of the teas made by the "haichao teablocks co. ltd."
let me know. They'll be in long, thin boxes that may look like bags
at first. Our local stores have the green jasmine and the pu ehr
varieties from them, but none of the others. I'd love to try their black.
