You've mentioned that you have internet access through cybercafe, are they very plentiful where you are? Are they growing? If not, is it a long wait to get some computer time? I imagine you can enjoy a nice strong coffee at the cybercafe to keep your brain moving. But if I traveled to China, I would want to try all the different flavors of tea!

Cyber cafe

Now I am surfing Internet in net cafe because I cannot access Internet in office. There are lost netcfe in China because many people have no pc to use or can not access Internet in home. Now the growing slow because more and ore family can access Internet in home. It don't need wait for a long time now. Personally, I don't like tea. I can not sleep after drinking tea.

Well see, that's the deal! The best conversations take place when you are awake! Coffee has always kept me more awake than tea, but I obviously have never had the powerful tea you're talking about, and perhaps you have never tasted the hearty dark brew of coffee I enjoy here. ummm... caffinated beverages of the world.

The differences

You can have the tea in China Town. There are many Starbucks in China now. I think I can have the coffee that you saied. Exchange to each other.

Want good tea? Twinings! Best tea underage virtual slave labour can buy!

Tea keeps you awake? Try a tripple expresso, should keep you up for a fortnight or so.

There are Starbucks in China and in Australia, and yet there are still no Starbucks where I live. Should I feel blessed or cursed?

The teas from Peets Coffee and Tea (peets.com) are the same kind and quality you find in Chinatown. For a treat I got the Golden Dragon Oolong, which has hand-twisted whole leaves. Excellent.

Two thoughts:
a. JAG! back for talk of Starbucks globalism and child labor in the tea industry! Yea! Youre not in prison, or if you are, theyre serving you Twinings?

b. Tony! "Hand-twisted whole leaves" sounds like a delicious and I'll confess slightly erotic brew.

Depends how much you like the tea I guess!

After you brew this tea you have whole, full tea leaves at the bottom of your teapot. Not the finely-chopped things, or the dust that goes into most teabags.
