Today we are mostly drinking 'Hong Cha' this is translated as 'red tea' and is as close to the familiar 'black tea' as you are going to find in a Chinese tea shop. In fact if you go in and ask for black tea, they will smile knowingly and say that you must mean 'hong cha'.
Since our recent supply of PG tips has run out on us, we are resigned to drinking Hong cha. I actually really like it, as it reminds me of Earl Grey, it has a properly flowery flavour, and we drink it with milk, although I'm sure this act would make any self respecting Chinaman shudder. Mr V is taking some time to acclimatise to the new tea, for precisely the same reason that I am so taken by it. it's not rough enough for him. what a philistine.
This tea we bought in Carrefour, from the tea seller. It was 4.50 RBM per 50g.
