Longjing Tea from China

Longjing Tea from China

The first mention of Longjing (its name in Chinese) appeared in the 8th century –at that time its taste and flavor were appreciated by the grandson of Chinese Emperor Kangxi.

According to legend, during one of his trips to the West Lake, Qianlong visited the temple of Hu Gong, where he was offered a cup of Longjing tea, which was produced from the tea bushes growing in front of the temple. He was so impressed with the taste that he appropriated 18 bushes with his imperial status.

These famous 18 trees are still alive, so if you plan to go to China, be sure to visit this place.
