nother claimed in big letters to be' formaldehyde free'. Makes you think, was THAT what made Carlsberg taste good? Or is this sort of vague idea like 'organic tea', equally insipid tasting but ' X free'?Steve, a marketing guru, is here to check out the tea scene with us but definitely to take surveyance of the marketing of brands in China. I hope he's not too daunted, though with knock-offs everywhere and the poorest graphics and zaniest slogans one is not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately all those elegant teahouses do not disappoint. Sitting over the West Lake, with the pristine lotus leaves papered over the black brocade like water, mosquitoes and bats competing for airspace (or at least my neck), sipping on fresh and unassuming green teas, we have a great time nonetheless. Teahouses are one a meter. They are huge, three to four floor affairs, with elegant 
balconeys that hang over the lake, where the swaying willow trees provide a curtain. The tea snacks all differ but our favorite was still the Dragonwell 'bao', a steamed bun filled with creamy dragonwell tea custard. Generally, tea service was around $12 USD a person, which includes some small snacks of seeds or fruits or an occasional pickled vegetable.

People are everywhere, strolling happily and alive and enjoying life. Life is good in Hangzhou.
