What kind of tea do the serve at Chinese restaurants?
Answers:
green tea is generally not served at normal chinese restaurants as it is a) pricer and b) does not hold well to boiling hot water and just sitting around in a pot all day.
japanese restaurants tend to serve green tea--sencha more likely.
at chinese restaurants, they serve black tea--a generic orange pekoe tea. if you were at nicer places, they might serve you a oolong tea or jasmine. and at dim sum restaurants, you can have your pick of oolong (a nice tannic tea), pu-erh (reputed to be a dieter's tea and helps digestion), jasmine (fragrant) or chrysanthemum (best enjoyed with a cube of sugar).
