Three main production area of Longjing Tea

The West Lake Area (Xihu) – The Top 10%

This is the West Lake core production area – within West Lake Scenic areas. It accounts for only 10% of total production, leading to high demand and higher prices.

The first level core production area (The Lion, Dragon, Cloud, Tiger, Plum獅, 龍, 雲, 虎, 梅): The absolute peak of Longjing. This includes Shi Feng Mountain (Lion), Longjing Village (Dragon), Yunqi (Cloud), Hupao (Tiger), and Mei Jia Wu (Plum).

The Qian Tang Area – The Middle 30%

Located within Hangzhou but outside the West Lake scenic area (e.g., Fuyang 富陽, Lin An臨安). These teas are often grown at higher altitudes along the Fuyang River, offering excellent quality at a more accessible price point.

The Yue Zhou / Zhejiang Region – The Remaining 60% 

Produced in Zhejiang province outside of Hangzhou (e.g., Xin Chang 新昌, Shaoxing紹興). These serve as the classic, affordable daily-drinking Longjing.
