Notable Chinese teas include keemun, a sweet, spicy [[black tea]], lung-ching, a bitter, nutty green tea, and bai mu dan, one of the more affordable varieties of white tea.  The finest grade of Japanese tea is probabably gyokuro, a green tea whose leaves are kept shaded to preserve a delicate flavor.  In [[India]], tea is grown in the [[Nilgiri]], [[Sikkim]], [[Dooars]] and [[Putharjhora]] regions, but most Indian tea is grown in [[Assam]].  The Indian tea most prized by connoisseurs comes from the mountainous region of [[Darjeeling]].  This is much imitated and grown in the nearby mountains of [[Nepal]].  Since the later part of the nineteenth century, [[Sri Lanka]] has been an important region for tea cultivation, producing brisk, flavorful black tea still known as "Ceylon tea" after the island's earlier name.  The most famous oolong tea is probably [[ti kuan yin]], a spicy tea very close to a green tea in oxidation.  Like many oolongs, ti kuan yin is made from tightly rolled leaves which unfold as the tea steeps.  The island of [[Taiwan]] is famous for its oolongs, either dark and rich or mild and fragrant.  These are known as [[Formosa oolongs]] after the [[Portuguese]] name for the island.
