If you are looking for a Chinese tea to drink, why not try puerh tea.
French like to have a glass of wine to go with their food. A typical Chinese would prefer a cup of tea instead. If you are having a heavy meal (plenty of meat that kind of stuff), the best thing to do is drink plenty of puerh tea. If you do not wish to have wing to go with your food, you can have other alternative. With its mild but rich taste, puerh blends well with all types of food. It is not like other fragrant green tea that will rob you the rich taste of the food you are enjoying. Instead, the subtle taste of puern will compliment well with your food (the way wine does). It can also wash away oily things in your food and keep you healthy and slim. Not only that, long term drinking this tea will lower your cholesterol.
Green puerh takes too long to mature. You can opt for ripe puerh which can be consumed immediately. Of course, if you keep the tea for a year or so, the taste of puerh will improve significantly. Mature green puerh (over 20 years of age) is quite costly but ripe puerh (2 year of age) is comparatively cheaper and easy to drink.

Here I have a recorded video on the production of this marvellous tea. The narration is in English, so sit tight and enjoy this short film.
