Unknown Tea from China

Hello all!

My husband’s coworker recently went on a trip to China and brought us back a beautiful canister of tea. From what I can tell, it looks and smells like black tea, but the only English writing on it says “Bosom Friend, Your Neighbor” and “Chinese Tea Gift”. The rest are characters. I’ve added the tea to Steepster with “Bosom Friend, Your Neighbor” as the title and “Chinese Tea Gift” as the company. I’ve also included some pictures of the canister and the tea itself. I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I could help me to identify the type of black tea (if that is indeed what it is) and also the company. I would like to list it correctly here if I can figure out what it is.

Thanks everyone!
Shae

Thank you both so much! I’m so impressed you know exactly what it is just by looking at the tea leaves. I have a lot to learn. :)
