It was a box of five - 100g tin cans. She thought they were just ordinary tea, and she gave them away, because she wanted to fill her suitcase with the cheap clothes and shoes she bought from her shopping spree. I think all Longjing tea in China should come with English brochures and explanations if they are intended as gifts to non-Chinese speakers. Without understanding the history, one cannot appreciate these tea leaves. A few years ago, my friend was given Longjing tea from a supplier in China on her overseas business trip.

The best green tea experience I had was when I was served green tea on Japan Airlines. The tea has a distinct green color that I have never seen before, and the taste is wonderful. I later found out that it is called Sencha tea, grown in the Kyoto region of Japan. This must be one of the top 10 teas in the world alongside with Longjing tea.
