If you are one of the lucky Americans who get this gift, what will you do?  Tea lovers will drink it and enjoy it while others although appreciate the gift may re-gift it to give it away.  Many people don\u2019t know how to deal with loose tea leaf.  I am not a serious tea drinker so I understand that.  No matter which level you are at with tea drinking, it doesn\u2019t hurt to have some tea knowledge.<br \/>\nTea is native to China.  Chinese has a long history and tradition of using tea for<br \/>\nmedical and drinking purposes.  There are four major tea categories: white, green, oolong and black.  Among them, green tea is the most popular.  Chinese flower tea (\u82b1\u8336), while popular, is not a true tea.  In fact, flower tea is one of my favorite.  It is so refreshing and fragrant.<br \/>\nFamous Chinese teas are: Jiansu province\u2019s Bi Luo Chun (\u78a7\u87ba\u6625), Zhejiang province\u2019s Gunpowder (\u73e0), Hangzhou\u2019s Long Jing (\u9f99\u4e95, Dragon Well), Anhui province\u2019s Huang Shan Mao Feng (\u9ec4\u5c71\u6bdb\u5cf0), Hunan province\u2019s Jun Shan Yin Zhen (\u541b\u5c71\u9280\u91dd), Anhui province\u2019s Keemun black teas (\u7941\u95e8), Anhui province\u2019s Liu An Gua Pian (\u516d\u5b89\u74dc\u7247, Melon seed), Sichuan province\u2019s Meng Ding Gan Lu (\u8499\u9802), Hunan province\u2019s Silver Needle, Fujian province\u2019s Wu Yi Yan Cha (Rock Oolong), Henan province\u2019s Xin Yang Mao Jian (\u4fe1\u9633\u6bdb\u5c16, Green tip), and Yunnan province\u2019s Puer teas (\u666e\u6d31\u8336).  Among them, some are yellow tea and some grow on the mountains.<br \/>\nSome people believe the first year tea is the best.  I bought a 7-year old compacted Puer tea on a trip to southern China.  I was told if I drink it after a meal, it has a diet effect because this tea absorbs fat.<br \/>\nChinese tea culture also includes exquisite tea-set used to serve tea and nice tea houses for people to get together.  Almost on any China trip, you have the opportunity to taste tea.  What a great way to find out on your own what Chinese tea is like!  For serious tea drinkers, there are also special tea trips to cater your love of Chinese tea.  So cheers with Chinese tea, for good health or simply for pleasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese like to give tea as a gift to friend and family.
