After visiting West Lake, we headed towards a local tea farm. This area of the country actually produces the #1-ranked green tea in the entire nation, Longjing (Dragon Well) Tea. As we drove through the countryside, you could see workers hand-picking the best leaves & working the land. The April/May time frame is actually the best time of the year to purchase fresh green tea from this region. Here are just a few pics taken from the bus of the tea fields. There is some reflection off of the window glass…but this gives you the general idea.

Next comes our demonstration at the tea farm!

Very interesting. From now on, no more Lipton for me. I will look for Longjing tea in the stores.
