Tea at Epcot ;)

The England spot only had a couple twinnings boxes and a bunch of teaware (probably overpriced)

The China spot i almost didnt see, but i was broke from all the 6$ french wines and bad creme brulee (which btw tasted like pudding :| ... the only crème brûlée that tasted more like crème brûlée was in the ... Norway section !?)

Japan had a little supermarket inside and ItoEn had a couple bottles around 2.5$. Didnt look for any sencha but who'd buy tea here ...

It sounds like this trip is turning into a tea nightmare for you, judging by your comments here (Disney tea!) and your blog posts. My heart goes out to you.

The tea at Japan in Epcot was terrible. I picked up a bag of the sencha with matcha because the packaging was pretty and it was awful. Japan did have good saki though. The only semi-good tea that I found was in the smaller Chinese restaurant. They had unsweetened bottles of iced tea. I had the Jasmine one and it turned out to be very refreshing. Teaware wise, Japan had some pretty stuff and I managed to get a $25 10oz yixing pot with four little cups and saucers at China. I loved the bone china in England, but it was a bit overpriced.

You were much better off with the wine and beer tastings. That's what we did when we went down there last May. I couldn't even get a hot pot for the hotel room and didn't want to use the coffee maker to make tea. I managed to get hot water from the dining place at the hotel a few times, but not as much as I wanted to.

The best tea I had at Disney was from a street vendor in Morocco... a nice freshly-brewed Moroccan Mint with fresh mint leaves... they were serving hot or cold, and the iced was a delicious treat on a hot day.
