Hangzhou's West Lake Longjing tea (or Dragon Well Tea) officially started to be picked on the day of Spring Equinox, or Chunfen in Chinese.

As one of China's 10 most famous teas, West Lake Longjing tea is characterized by its green color, delicate aroma, mellow taste, and beautiful shape.

In late 2022, China's traditional tea-making, of which West Lake Longjing tea is an important component, was inscribed on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.
