西湖龙井，居中国名茶之冠，产于浙江省杭州西湖周围的群山之中。多少年来，杭州不仅以美丽的西湖闻名于世界，也以西湖龙井茶誉满全球。西湖群山产茶已有千百年的历史，在唐代时就享有盛名，但形成扁形的龙井茶，大约还是近百年的事。

The Xihu (West Lake) Longjing tea ranks the highest among Chinese teas. It is produced among the hills surrounding the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Over the years, the city of Hangzhou is not only famous in the world for the beautiful West Lake but also for the Xihu Longjing tea. The hills near the West Lake have been producing tea for hundreds of years and have renowned as early as the Tang Dynasty. But the formation of flat shaped Longjing tea only occurred in the last hundred years. 西湖龙井茶外形挺直削尖、扁平俊秀、光滑匀齐、色泽绿中显黄。冲泡后，香气清高持久，香馥若兰；汤色杏绿，清澈明亮，叶底嫩绿，匀齐成朵，芽芽直立，栩栩如生。品饮茶汤，沁人心脾，齿间流芳，回味无穷。

The Xihu Longjing tea is straight and pointy, flat and slick, with hints of yellow showing through its green color. After brewing, the clear aroma of the tea smells of orchids and lasts for a long time. The color of the brew presents a bright and clear green. The tea leaves are light green, with uniform and straight buds. When consumed, the tea leaves a refreshing fragrance that reaches all the way through one’s teeth.

龙井茶区分布在西湖湖畔的秀山峻岭之上。这里傍湖依山，气候温和，常年云雾缭绕，雨量充沛，加上土壤结构疏松、土质肥沃，茶树根深叶茂，常年莹绿。从垂柳吐芽，至层林尽染，茶芽不断萌发，清明前所采茶芽，称为明前茶。炒一斤明前茶需七八万芽头，属龙井茶之极品。龙井茶的外形和内质是和其加工手法密切相联的。

The Longjing tea plantations are spread among the majestic hills around the West Lake. The mild climate sees mists all year round. With plentiful rain, loose soil structure, and fertile land, the tea trees are able to become deep rooted and remain green all year long. From budding in spring to the coloring of the forests in late autumn, the tea buds are constantly sprouting. Tea picked before the Qingming Festival is called the Pre-Qingming tea. Five hundred grams of Pre-Qingming tea uses 70 to 80 thousand tea shoots, and it is the highest grade of Longjing tea. The shape and quality of the Longjing tea have much to do with its processing techniques.

龙井茶炒制手法复杂，依据不同鲜叶原料不同炒制阶段分别采取“抖、搭、捺、拓、甩、扣、挺、抓、压、磨”等十大手法。凡观看过炒制龙井茶全过程的，都会认为龙井茶确实是精工细作的手工艺品。

The roasting techniques for Longjing tea are very complicated. There are 10 basic techniques that are based on different fresh tea leaves and different stages of roasting, including: sparkling, straightening, flattening, rubbing, flinging, squeezing, pushing, lifting, pressing, grinding. Anyone who has seen the entire process for roasting Longjing tea will think that it is indeed a meticulously crafted production.

西湖龙井茶不仅汇茶之色、香、味、形“四绝”于一身，而且集名山、名寺、名湖、名泉和名茶于一体，构成了罕见的独特而骄人的龙井茶文化。
