West Lake Longjing Tea

Follow a cup of tea back to the hills. Longjing connects Hangzhou’s tea landscape with the skilled hands that shape its leaves.

Hand-firing helps give Longjing its distinctive flat form. Looking beyond the teacup reveals the relationship between the growing landscape, the processing of the leaves and the way the finished tea is brewed.
