"Here is unconfirmed information I heard about LongJing.
XiHu LongJing is seriously under supplied. Let's not talk about meeting
world-wide demand, LongJing produced from the small area around the 5
peaks is not enough to even go around friends and relatives of the tea
farmers. Solution? Farmers "import" LongJing grown in other provinces,
which is not as tasty, and sell it as XiHu LongJing.

Sorry I have to break someone's heart. If you think you are drinking
the original LongJing when you visit these tea farmers of XiHu, you are
a happy tourist, and they are happy farmers."
