There are hundreds of varieties of tea that are produced in China every year and enjoyed by people all over the world. Some of the most expensive green teas and yellow teas come from China, and are acquired by tea connoisseurs are high prices. There are several opinions as to which the best teas from China are, but a list of The Ten Great Chinese Teas gives us an understanding of which teas to pick: Longjing tea or Dragon Well tea, is a variety of pan-roasted green tea from the area of Longjing Village near Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, China. It is produced mostly by hand and renowned for its high quality, earning it the China Famous Tea title. Like most other Chinese green tea, Longjing tea leaves are roasted early in processing (after picking) to stop the natural oxidation process, which is a part of creating black and oolong teas. Biluochun is a famous green tea originally grown in the Dongting mountain region near Lake Tai, Jiangsu, China. Also known as Pi Lo Chun, it is renowned for its delicate appearance, fruity taste, floral aroma, showy white hairs and early cropping. The name Biluochun literally means "Green Snail Spring". It is called so because it is a green tea that is rolled into a tight spiral, resembling snail meat, and is cropped early spring. Huangshan Maofeng tea is a green tea produced in south eastern interior Anhui province of China. The tea is one of the most famous teas in China and can almost always be found on the China Famous Tea list. The tea is grown near huangshan (Yellow Mountain), which is home to many famous varieties of Green Tea. Junshan Yinzhen is a Yellow tea from Junshan Island of the Hunan Province in China. Keemun is a famous Chinese black tea. First produced in late 19th century, it quickly became popular in the West and is still used for a number of classic blends. It is a light tea with characteristic stone fruit and slightly smoky notes in the aroma and a gentle, malty, non-astringent taste reminiscent of unsweetened cocoa. Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) is a Wuyi rock tea grown in the Wuyi Mountains. It is a heavily oxidized, dark oolong tea. Da Hong Pao can sell for up to US$1,025,000 per kilogram or US $35,436 per ounce. In recent years, a number of companies have invested in preserving the interest in this tea and other so-called "artisan" teas, which typically are of very high quality and have rich histories as is true with Da Hong Pao. Lu'an Melon Seed, also known as Lu'an Leaf, is a green tea from Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China. Lu'an Melon Seed Tea's name is derived from the shape of the processed tea leaves, which are flat and oval and resemble a melon seed. Unlike most green teas which use the new buds in making tea, Lu'an Melon Sea Tea uses the second leaf on the branch. Tieguanyin is a premium variety of Chinese oolong tea originated in the 19th century in Anxi in Fujian province. Taiping houkui tea is grown at the foot of Huangshan in Taiping County, Anhui. The tea has been produced since the beginning of the 20th century and is produced around the small village of Hou Keng. It's renowned for its "two knives and one pole": two straight leaves clasping the enormous bud with white hairs. Xinyang Maojian tea is a green tea produced in Xinyang, Henan. Xinyang Maojian is one type of green tea that originally was produced in mid China.
