The Chinese Tea Museum in Hangzhou has many world class exhibits.
Many sources agree that China's top-rated tea is West Lake Dragon Well Tea (Xi Hu Longjing, 西湖龙井), grown on the hills around West Lake, southwest of Hangzhou City. With its history as an imperial capital and also as a place of vacation for Beijing's emperors, China's best tea has been enjoyed in style in Hangzhou for well over 1,000 years.
Hangzhou Tea Museum, located among the tea plantations, is China's only museum dedicated to the history of Chinese tea. All the Hangzhou tours take in Meijiawu Tea Plantation, which has hosted many foreign VIPs. Try the 1-Day Dragon Well Tea Culture and West Lake Tour.
