West Lake Longjing tea is one of the top ten famous teas in China. In 2022, it was successfully selected into the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Hangzhou officials announced at a press conference that the 43 varieties will be officially mined on March 20, and the group varieties around March 27. The weather has alternated between sunny and rainy this year. The growth period of the overwintering buds of tea trees has been significantly extended, which is conducive to the accumulation of active ingredients in tea.
