before leaving hangzhou we wanted to go to a cha lou (tea house) as they are very famous in this area. You sit in a semi-enclosed room with your friends and everyone orders the type of tea that they want. There is a kettle of hot water over a low flame just within reach outside of the room that is kept full by attendants. The quality and variety of teas are unlike anything you can find outside of China but the best part is that you can snack on a variety of delicious small foods that you bring back to your room from a buffet. It's sort of an all you can eat thing because you only pay for the tea; I understand why people often spend all day at these places.
