what's new

Whats new at Wan Ling Tea House and our plans for the future.

New Year 2010

Happy New Year. Looking forward to an exciting year of the Tiger. 2010 is a big year for Wan Ling Tea House and Shanghai. Shanghai will be hosting the world EXPO and it is set to be a huge event. Located on the former docks, the site is incredible. If you have a chance do try and make it to Shanghai for EXPO and if you do please come and visit us.

Look out for more Shanghai events, we are kicking off the new year with a free tea tasting at Dragonfly @ SCRA. Why not come along.

Personally the biggest news is that James finally proposed to Wan Ling on New Years day which co-insided with Valentines day. No date is set but we look forward to the first Wan Ling Tea House wedding.

Looking back to 2009, there was no major changes to www.wanlingteahouse.com though the European online tea shop grew tremendously thanks to the hard work of the team there and the wonderful support of our customers. We look forward to busy and successful 2010 bringing you even more.

Be happy, keep smiling and put the kettle.

All the best from Shanghai and Dorset, England.

New Year 2009

2008 has flown by. Welcome to 2009 and best wishes for the year of the Ox.

With all the work on the Wan Ling Tea House Europe site there has just been time for a few tweaks and updates here online (Fujian and Accessories pages), though I hope they make our readers lifes more convenient. We would like to thank those that have taken the time to send us feedback and suggestions - we encourage everyone to let us know what they'd like to see here.

Wan Ling has been busy in the real world with the move to the new shop in Jing An district. Still conveniently located, the shop is much larger but still offers a relaxing place to escape the rush of Shanghai.

Spring / Summer 2008

Busy plans are ahead at Wan Ling Tea House. 2008 we look forward to our new UK online shop opening. Our aim is that European sales will be shipped from the UK meaning that delivery times & costs will be substantially reduced.

Spring 2008

The latest version (v3.2) of the site is up and running. This should see the style of the website settle for a while until we have new ideas! Our efforts will be focused on getting the online shop up and running, then optimising its functionality & easy of use. As ever if you have any suggestions for any part of our business please do not hesitate in contacting us. For a full overview of the changes on the website since its inception please check out our website history page.

Media interest!

Almost from no where Wan Ling has attracted the interest of the media in Shanghai and abroad. Wan Ling was recently inerviewed for Shanghai Daily, an English language newspaper. The article titled, "Kung Fu cha - tea with more than a kick covered many aspects of basic of gong fu tea preparation.

UK and Europe website launched

Wan Ling Tea House is pleased to annouce the release of the dedicated Wan Ling Tea House UK and Europe website. The site is part of the plans to launch a full online tea shop in the future. It also ensures this international tea site can remain almost entirely informational based.
