cock brand Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 so how long normally can it last if you put in refrigerator?any ideal which one is mild & nice?Tea leaves can be kept for years in proper condition.Some of the most expensive aged tea(老茶)are 50 years old!Keep in air-tight non-transparent container in fridge, better still, in wine chiller where temp is about 12 deg c.Hard to recommend cos tea drinking is very personal, mild to me may be too flat for you.There are still some tea houses in chinatown where you can try several types of tea before buying.

cock brand Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Any recommendation for a good 'cha zhuang' we can go sip tea and have a quiet day off and space out?There is one along Sago Lane, at one of those shophouses's upper level, can't remember the name. The damage should be about similar to an outing at StarbucksOtherwise can try this one at Tanjong Pagar, was featured in one of the Ch5 where-to-makan program - Food Chain, hosted by Tan Kheng Hwa - http://www.yixingxuan-teahouse.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
