Obviously there are many more well-known Chinese teas. But these teas have two attributes that make them stand out among the innumerable teas of high quality and refined taste and that justify their presence on a list of the “most famous”: Their notoriety reaches over the regional level and they have a history and tradition that makes them culturally acceptable and is good for consumption. Liu’an Guapian and Junshan Yinzhen, for example, are mentioned under an older name in the great 18th century novel Dream of the Red Chamber (红楼梦).
