Going to HKG, Bali, Singapore, Shanghai next wk. Where to buy great tea?

I will be going on a trip in Asia and will be visiting HKG, Singapore, Bali, Shanghai next week.

I want to buy tea.

How do I know if I should trust the store?

Any places I should shop?

Thanks in advance.

I have some friends in Asia and the best suggestion they have is to ask someone local. If you are at a hotel, ask at the desk (assuming the language is not a barrier). :)

I will try that.

I wasn’t into tea went I went to Singapore last year but at a guess I’d say try to find a specialty tea store at any of the malls along Orchard Rd.

This is a blog I found “A teablogger in Singapore” http://tealadymel.wordpress.com

There are some recommendations.

Haven’t visited any of the other places you mentioned. Have fun on your travels, I’m jealous! Lol

The one at Marina Bay Sands looks most impressive.
