Depending on the differences of  producing areas&rsquo; partial ecological environments and producing  technologies, Xihu Longjing Tea can be classified into three kinds,  &ldquo;Lion Mount Longjing&rdquo;, &ldquo;Meiwu Longjing&rdquo; and &ldquo;Xihu Longjing&rdquo;, among  which, the first one produced in Lion Mount is best in quality.<\/p>\n<p>Xihu Longjing Tea is flat and smooth in shape, with green and yellow  color and luster. When making tea, pouring boiled water of about 80  degree celsius&nbsp;into the cup, and then tea buds&nbsp; will slowly roll up,  like lotuses floating from the water. The tea liquor is dark green and  smells sweet and mellow. Xihu Longjing Tea is well-known around the  world due to four wonders, namely, &ldquo;green color, sweet smell, mellow  taste and beautiful shape&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>It is very complex to produce Xihu Longjing Tea. Elaborate techniques  are adopted during plucking and processing to ensure excellent quality.  Longjing is not only the name of tea, but is also the name of a temple  and a spring. Since the water of the Longjing Spring, which is located  at the northwest foot of Wenjia Mountain west of the West Lake, is clear  and sweet, the Longjing Temple was built, and monks planted tea trees  there, and then Longjing Tea came into being. The history of Xihu  Longjing Tea may earliest date from the Tang Dynasty, during which  period, the famous sage of tea Lu Yu wrote the Tea Classics, first book  on tea in the world, in which that tea is produced in Xihu Lake of  Hangzhou was recorded.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<p>  <br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-709477693\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xihu Longjing Tea, a famous kind of green tea in  China, grows in the mountains around the Xihu Lake (West Lake) of  Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, including areas like Lion Mount, Longjing  Mount, the Wuyun Mountain and Hupao.
