Enjoy tea in a picturesque Suzhou water town.
· Location: Jiangsu Province, East China
· Famous tea: Green Spiral
· Tea type: green tea
A popular choice for China's second favorite imperial tea is Suzhou's Green Spiral Tea (Dongting Bi Luo Chun, 洞庭碧螺春). Like Hangzhou, Suzhou was an imperial retreat for Beijing's elite. Suzhou's ornate gardens were doubtless the setting for many a classy "cuppa" over the centuries.
You too can drink the tea of emperors and enjoy the gardens that emperors enjoyed on a Suzhou tour.
