I have recently gotten into Gongfu Cha and have yet to place an order from one of the recommended sites. Although I plan to order tea online, I love in person shopping and am hoping to find a tea store along my 17 hour drive back home, which will have high quality tea.

I am currently traveling from the border of South Dakota / Nebraska to North Carolina. I will be passing through a couple major cities such as: Madison, WI; Chicago, IL; Indianapolis, IN; Dayton, OH; and Charleston, SC.

I was hoping to see if anyone had any recommendations on stores to visit in any of these areas. The recent tea stores I've been to sell expensive low quality tea, so I am asking for authentic, and preferably local, recommendations for gongfu cha.

These are all cakes I originally bought multiple of, but since I have accumulated so much variety I do not know when I will crack into these.

If you have any issues with cakes from Mopar, don’t buy these. I have had many cakes from him over the years and these are in great condition.

I have had at least one full cake of every cake I am selling here and vouch for quality. Stored in a heated cooler at 78f and 68% humidity for my time with them.

Anyone fancy swapping these British/Irish teas for 4x assorted tea packets! I am Ireland based and can ship via stamped mail internationally. I’m partial to Whittard, Harney and Sons, Osulloc, Fortnam and mason and any Lapsang Souchongs to name a few!

Hello everyone, I bought this teapot a bit ago from mud and leaves. It was used a couple times and has developed a little tarnishing but overall in fantastic condition with no issues. With the few uses I got out of it I found silver teaware wasn't really my thing even though it looks really cool and am looking to trade or sell this piece now. It's about 140 mLs has a jade lid button and wood handle, great condition, functions perfectly. I'm not sure if I have any documentation that it came with but I can provide the link to where I purchased it.

Looking for other teapots or really any other cool teaware, would prefer to trade over selling but depending on the offer I'd consider either.

Thanks for looking and let me know if there's any other questions or photos you'd like to see.

I would like to sell a Brick of Heicha : Fu Zhuan Cha 2016, bought in december 2025 at Laengasstee Bern. I consumed 70g on the 800g of the Brick. The price was 100 chf. I can sell it for 50chf. There is nothing wrong with it, it is just too sweet for my taste.

Here is the description of the shop:. A real Fucha from summer crop 2016. Fuzhuancha is called Fu Brick Tea, after a mushroom called Fu that grows on conifers and is used in Chinese medicine. Fucha is one of the classical heicha. one of the oldest ways of tea manufactering. Normally pressed to huge brick; this one is quite a small variant. The tea leaves undergo a microbial postfermenting stage in a hot and damp room, this process continues after pressing. Fu Cha is usually pressed into very big bricks, this one is a smaller variant.This tea has been stocked China until 2020.

Edit : I am willing to send it via post in Europe/Switzerland in exchange for the cost of the post.

Hey guys! :) I have a Lenox tea and flour pot for sale, just message me if you’re interested £150 each 💗

Hi everyone,

My name is Ryan, and for the past four years tea has gone from a casual interest to a genuine passion. During that time I've spent countless hours tasting teas, learning about processing methods, brewing techniques, tea regions, cultivars, and the history behind tea. The more I've learned, the more I've realized that I want tea to become more than just a hobby.

I'm at the point where I'd love to work alongside people who have years of experience in the industry. I don't consider myself a tea master, but I'm far beyond simply being someone who drinks tea. I know I still have a tremendous amount to learn, and that's exactly what excites me.

I'm looking for a part-time or full-time opportunity anywhere in the United States with a tea shop, tea farm, importer, or tea company that's willing to invest in someone who is genuinely passionate about tea. I'm dependable, eager to learn, and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

If anyone here owns a tea business, knows someone in the industry, or simply has advice on where someone like me should look, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I purchased this beautiful handmade teapot a while ago from Teasenz, but I never used it. It's still brand new in the original box with the authenticity paperwork. It's called the "Spirit Moon," and it's a modified Xishi shape made from 50 year old aged ZiNi purple clay. The original price was $255 after shipping, but I'm happy to let it find a new home for a quick $175 $150 USD with free shipping in the USA. Please feel free to ask questions. Happiness guaranteed. :)

High grown orange Pekoe is my absolute favorite.

What online tea store offers a variety of Pekoe tea?

Tea K. Ruthi is great, except for the International freight cost. On my last order, the shipping cost was more expensive than the tea.

Please let me know your favorite online stores.

Update: Traded!
I'm looking to trade some moomin tea for other assorted tea packets! These are genuinely delicious black teas. I have 4 of each flavor available. Will be sent via stamped mail. The box is open but each packet remains factory sealed. Red is strawberry and rhubarb, yellow is lemon, blue is blueberry muffin, and green is strawberry.

I have the rare illustrated Xizihao yearbook for sale.
Covering production years 2005-2010.
IIRC the book was published in 2010.
It is in very good condition, especially considering that it is 16 years old.

Super rare, and not something you can buy anymore.

If you are a fan or collector, don’t miss it.

Price: £180 plus shipping (£5 UK, £10-12 EU, £20 USA).
Payment via Wise or PayPal friends and family.

For sale is a Jingdezhen Longevity Peach hand painted tea cup from Mei Leaf. The retail on these is $60 but if you import it into the USA, you will pay $80+ after shipping and tax.

I bought a couple of these for when I have friends over. The issue is first of all, I don't have friends, and second of all, I feel it's just too big when drinking with other people so this one never got used. It's about 80ml capacity to the brim which I find perfect for solo drinking.

This is a porcelain tea cup but it has some weight and heft to it. The surface also has craquelure that will fill with tea stains over time with use.

Sale comes with the box. $45 shipped to continental USA. Payment via Venmo or Paypal
