<P>Now a keything is that if you are not staisfied with the teas, make a very minimum purchase (like 50nt teacups) or no purchase at all if they try to pressure you or only allow large quantities.... (i might get shot by the shop owners here over this....)</P>

But maybe you should try to make some friends on 三醉 and/or 清心 first and try to visit them.
<BR><BR>idiot,謝謝您。 您的英文比我的中文好。我用英文回您。<BR>I will take everyone's advice and try to stick to looking for 台灣茶和老普洱茶. I am on 三醉, and have talked to a few people from that area. Last time I was in 武夷山 was 3 years ago, and I had less experience, but I think to find the very best tea, you need some good connections there. Hopefully I will have a chance to visit again in the next couple of years.<BR><BR>

as for the shops often listed on the tour guides like the ones listed by someone above, they do not reflect the full strength of Taiwanese tea making, so if you feel disappointed, don't stop trying....
<BR>I haven't looked at any tour guides, but I do prefer to avoid touristy type places. Some people recommended famous old shops like <SPAN class=adr dir=ltr>新芳春 and </SPAN><SPAN class=adr dir=ltr>王有記 over PM.<BR>I have a friend who has mentioned </SPAN>九壺堂茶莊 in the past - do you think it's worth giving him a call? Anywhere that you especially recommend for 紅水凍頂? Essentially, I am looking for balanced teas, that have a traditional level of oxidation and roast; not the greener style that's more popular now (but not over-fired either). Feel free to PM me if you don't want to recommend something publicly.<BR><BR>Luckily, I have a friend who owns a well-known tea house in Taipei and who is willing to take me to visit a tea farm they know in the 文山／木柵 area. So I think this will let me visit at least one tea farm. Maybe it's silly, but I did want to get the chance to see at least one tea farm while I'm in Taiwan.[/quote]</P>
