“Drink Tea . Taste China” Today we will arrive at one of the most famous scenic spots in China, the West Lake (Xihu) in Hangzhou. The Suzhou-Hangzhou region has been prosperous since ancient times, the famous Chinese green tea – Xihu Longjing is also produced in this area. Xihu Longjing has over 1500 years of recorded history. Particularly liked by the Chinese imperial families, it was granted the status of imperial tea (Gong Cha) by Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.
Xihu Longjing is famous for its "color, fragrance, taste and shape". The emerald green tea leaves make clear and green colored tea with refreshing and long-lasting aroma. The taste of the tea is smooth, delicate, and slightly sweet. The tea leaves are flat and even sized. In addition to its use for drinking, Xihu Longjing can also be used as a cooking ingredient to cook Hangzhou’s specialty cuisines such as the Longjing Shrimp. If you ever go to Hangzhou, don't forget to stop and enjoy a cup of Xihu Longjing.
