I am new to eBay but wish to use it mainly for buying chinese teas and tea related artifacts. I might put up some used things for sale too.
Mostly I'm using eBay to realize my tea dreams, mainly looking for the following:
- Chinese oolong teas, mostly interested in the darker types with heavier roasting and/or fermentation, but I like greener types too.
- Chinese red/hong (black) teas mainly of Dian Hong type ("Yunnan Gold" in the West)
- Chinese black/hei (Pu'er and similar) teas, specially raw Pu'er tea. I will be buying some samples first, specially aged samples, then I know what whole cake to order, and maybe I can buy younger cakes so I have an idea what it will taste like in the future.
- Chinese teaware like yixing zisha pots, cups, faircups, utensils
- Chinese tea table! I am looking for a real tea table! I use a homebuilt improvised one now, because I couldn't find one of a price I was willing to pay in Sweden, and I was worried about the shipping (both cost and breakage) of such a big object.
- Chinese green and white teas are of interest too, but mainly lower priced green teas for daily mass-consumption :)
I only have a pretty limited interest in scented teas, but I'd like to try the famous traditional scented teas though at some point like ginseng oolong, lychee congou, osmanthus congou, rose congou, jasmine dragon pearls, and other traditional scentings, most often I think those that are traditional scents are so because they work! Specially I would like to try lychee red tea because it's a traditional scent and I love lychees (a fruit unknown to most swedes), the few jasmine teas I've had so far in my life were not so good, too perfume-ish and too bitter at same time.
So that's basically my wishlist. It's mainly Pu'er and oolong teas that I came to eBay for, but I might be interested in buying or selling non-tea-related items too sometimes.
