    lots of tea pots here in Dumaguete,Lee and Hyper have many Chinese made but unfortunatly none made in UK...as for teas,even in Cebu there is not a great selection(although Dafitz might have a secret place) of real tea..eg PG tips,Typhoo..Miguel

    The only Teapots are small chinese pots, a Sri Lankan one would do me fine.
    Indian tea can be bought in Malaysia, and Thailand, so i thought to find it here would be no problem. So it looks as if my days of a daily cuppa are finished, wish i had known before. Ah well thats life.
    Cheers Di

    Teapots don't carry well in luggage Naropa.
    But if it's English tea you require, I will bring some with me, come February.
    My stay will only permit, maybe one week in Dumaguete, but will inform you of our arrival via the forum. :wink:
    regards JB

    Next time you're in Cebu, try Rustan's supermarket (not Ayala supermarket) in Ayala Mall, they have some reasonable coffee, should have some tea too, only ever partake of Twinning's or Lyon's Earl Grey myself, (just for the Bergamot, mind). As for bone china 'teapots', not a clue, ever thought about a coffee or tea 'french' press, not quite the same but close, works for me anyway. (Have seen quite a few human ones, parading up & down the Boulevard at dusk.:D)
