All About Tea
We went into a tea house after shopping in the night market in Hangzhou.
The selection of tea was quite wide, I had green tea and E had some rose tea. There were plenty of free snacks, we just had to pay for the tea leaves which turned out to be pretty expensive. About 100 RMB for drinking tea ... then again the Chinese takes their tea drinking pretty seriously and don't mind paying for quality tea.
The next day we went to Long Jin Village 狮峰山, where the original Long Jin Cha is 龙井茶
produced. Understand that all the others in the night market are not original, alas, we can't tell the difference. Cost 400 RMB for 500 gram of tea leaves, of course we had to buy some back.
While shopping we saw many types of tea on display, they were beautiful to look at but I have no desire to try.
