It's a great tea I got from somebody else who bough it during a trip
to China. However it's running out and I can't identify it to get more. There is Chinese writing on the packaging which I can't recognize however. I would be extremely grateful if anyone can give me a hint as to what tea this is from these pictures is took of it: packaging - http://i27.tinypic.com/oqbps5.jpg closeup of text - http://i28.tinypic.com/2dr9vep.jpg some tea leaves - http://i29.tinypic.com/14b8b2d.jpg a cup of it - http://i29.tinypic.com/70f883.jpg |

This could be bulk tea. It may be hard to purchase unless you go back
to China (Qingdao?). I did a quick search of the company website by looking up the Chinese and saw references to the company, but no actual website to purchase the tea. The company does look something like Qingdao Fengli Tea Industries, Ltd. I assume this is green tea by the look of it. |

However, it gives us one important clue -- the Carrefour logo. So, somebody bought this from Carrefour, which means it's not going to be a very high grade tea, sold in plastic bags... The company who made this is indeed the Qingdao Fengli Tea Industries, they're located at 75 Jinan Road, and since there's no city name or whatever attached to that address, I'm going to guess that whoever bought it got it from Qingdao and they sell mostly just to local markets. A google search shows that they not only do tea, but also sells candies and other sundry goods, which probably means they're just a wholesaler of some sort that deals primarily but not exclusively with tea... again, not a mark of great quality. None of the other marks (the two words on top left, the QS mark on top right) tell us anything about what tea this actually is. Hope this helps MarshalN http://www.xanga.com/MarshalN |
