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.
