Excellent work, discovering Wing Hop Fung and Tea Chat both. I have barely begun to plumb the riches of WHF, and never come out of there with less than 1 new tea that I didn't go there planning to buy. I have gotten better and managed to keep it down to just 1 on at least one recent occasion, however.

What are you enjoying most so far?

Walking into WHF is kind of like a shotgun start of a TeaJourney! :mrgreen: Plus you take years off the learning curve.

Glad you could join us and hope you share it with us.

Hummm it's lower at Bird Pick. I thought WHP prices were lower.

Anyway it looks pretty good. :)

Well still ... they have a great selection of teaware, I need to make it back up there one of these days. I'd like to go to an actual Bird Pick store. My friend goes to one in Pasadena.

Yeah its a very fun store to look around. i should find the one in Pasadena it actually would be closer but we usually go to chinatown for some bomb food from Yang Chow.
