china tea set I am looking for a fine china store in Los Angeles Chinatown?
Several years ago I accidentally ended up in a store in Chinatown, LA that was selling fine china - dinner sets, tea sets etc. I still remember the exquisite quality of china I saw there. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the store or the address. I don't live in LA anymore. I'd like to find this store when I go back to LA but as I said - I don't know the name. Anybody can help me?
I don't have an answer for you BUT the Chinatown in LA (the one by downtown LA) is really small you can probably walk thru it within half and hour! You can also try Monterey Park/San Gabriel/Alhambra off Valley Blvd. or Garvey Blvd. there are a few fine china stores there too! Good luck!
Tea is second only to water as the most-consumed beverage in the world. When recent studies revealed green tea’s health benefits, North American consumption skyrocketed. Tea is a comprehensive guide to non-herbal tea, the plant Camellia sinensis. Concise and authoritative text and an abundance of color photographs take the reader on an escorted tour of the world’s teagrowing countries: China, Japan, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam and East Africa. Like a fine wine, it is the “terroir”--a region’s soil and climate--that imparts unique characteristics to a tea. The book covers black, green, white, yellow, oolong, pu’er, perfumed, aromatic and smoked teas. Topics include: An overview of the history of tea Tea varieties The worldwide export of tea How tea is processed Signature tea cultivars The art of making, serving and tasting tea, including tea ceremonies Tea in cooking, with 15 recipes from gourmet chefs A directory of teas. A set of detailed charts, tables and graphs shows the caffeine, antioxidant and other biochemical properties of 35 teas. Tea aficionados go on organized tours of tea-growing regions, enroll in tasting seminars and earn professional certificates. For them and for the interested reader who enjoys the occasional cup, Tea is a beautifully presented homage to the world’s most beloved hot beverage.

Product features:Tea jar features the Hindu goddess Durga, a unified symbol of all divine forcesServeware is perfect for holding your loose leaf or bagged teasTea set piece handcrafted in Philippine mahogany and elm woodMeasures 11 inches high x 8 inches diameterStory Behind the Art:This fine Chinese piece is hand-crafted by artisans working in the tradition of China's Fujian Province, known worldwide for its dazzling wood carving and lacquer-ware. Features an indigenous Fujian lacquering style which uses seven carefully polished layers of lacquer-tree sap to create a complex, beautiful, and sturdy surface; each piece is then antique-finished for a gorgeous authentic look. The resulting surface has a matte finish, unusual among Chinese lacquer furniture, which is usually very shiny. These pieces are based on traditional designs steeped in ancient Asian history, and exhibit many common natural and cultural motifs, often adapted from ancient and beloved Asian art. Motifs include birds, animals and flowers, which are meaningful in Buddhist- and Confucian-influenced cultures.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
