Tea drinking may be the sign of a New Age lifestyle, but it has been synonymous with Chinese culture for thousands of years. Chinese people use a wide variety of teas to quench their thirst, to aid digestion, for health benefits and as an ingredient in many dishes. Chinese tea is a great, reasonably priced gift, especially when attractively wrapped in souvenir packaging. Hong Kong has a large variety of teas imported from different Chinese provinces and cities, such as Fujian's Ti-guan-yin tea

, Hangzhou's Dragon Well tea

and Yunnan's Pu-erh tea

. A popular one from Taiwan is Don-ding Oolong tea

. Chinese tea is readily available in Chinese department stores, supermarkets and teahouses.
