China Tea Museum

The_china_tea_museum

We here at chamomile tea benefits.org love travel and tea cultures from all over the world. One place steeped (pun intended!) in ancient tea history is, of course, China. In the province of Hangzhou is the China Tea Museum.

Hangzhou is the provincial capital and largest city of the Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. This city is not only famous for the natural beauty of the the West Lake and many historic and cultural landmarks including the Leifeng Pagoda where you can enjoy an amazing sunset view over the lake, the six harmony Pagoda, Ling Yin Temple but also it´s  home to the China Tea Museum and the Longjing Village, one of the birthplaces to Chinese Green Tea. Also very representative of the local Tea culture are the  Teahouses that line West Lake and where you see all the locals playing cards and drinking Green Tea.
