Hangzhou - Long Jing tea & He Fang Street

Here we are at the Long Jin Tea factory where we had a very informative talk from this lady about this tea which is grown on the slopes in only this particular village and its surrounds.

Just take a pinch into a cup, pour in boiling water that's cooled for 5 minutes, and that's it. Keep using cup of tea leaves 4 times. Use leaves with egg white as face cleaner moisteriser scrub etc. Or dry in sun and put into pillow to get your face nice and smooth (how?) Blah blah blah.

We were sold on the product and came away lugging lots of cannisters of tea and many dollars poorer. It is nice to drink, though.




Here's a popular spot where tourists are brought to. Lots of dried fruitstuff, veggies, seeds, nuts etc. And cheap cheap cheap.
