    Hello

    Recently I got into making tea following tea ceremony. So the question is where in Ireland (or on the net) I could get good tea "taiwan ging seng oolong" and some others? Web site, or may be there is a shop in Ireland?

    And where I can get some gear for chinese tea ceremony?

    You could try www.theteamerchant.ie

    For a physical shop, try the Asian market off George's St. They do have very inexpensive (but not great) Chinese tea sets and inexpensive (but not great) tea. But I am sure with the number of Chinese shops in Dublin now there will be somewhere that you can get good stuff.

    Otherwise there is a stronger tea culture in continental Europe. Good tea shops that I have bought from recently would include Mariage Freres (www.mariagefreres.com), La Route du Thé (www.larouteduthe-versailles.com), Le Palais des Thés (www.palaisdesthes.com), Tea Shop of East and West Co (www.teashop.es), and Planeta Té (shop in Girona, Catalunya.) If you ever find yourself in France or Spain you will have no problem finding a good tea shop! (Otherwise a lot of these places do mail order, but flights these days cost so little...)

    I got my tea set in a very nice shop in Paris called Le Chat Huant (50-52, rue Galande 75005 PARIS.) Very nice stuff indeed in there and a lot of it quite reasonable price-wise.

    I drink herbals mostly and use www.adagio.com. It's an american site but I find their selection very good and usually get the orders within 3 or 4 days.

    I realise this is a very old post but I am also really interested in tea ceremonies and haven't managed to find any in Ireland, if you know if any I would love to know about them

    Try contacting your nearest Confucius Institute for advice.
