The historical origin of Longjing:

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Hangzhou tea culture was on the rise. During the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, the economy and culture on both sides of Qiantang River gradually developed, Lingyin Temple was built, and religious activities such as Buddhism and Taoism gradually prevailed, and the West Lake was gradually developed. Tea was planted and spread with the establishment of Taoist temple. After the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty, due to the convenient land and water transportation, Hangzhou became a "rich city" with scattered products in Southeast China, and the prosperity of Hang Cheng in Tang Dynasty began to appear. At this time, tea was widely planted in Hangzhou.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Longjing tea area had begun to take shape. At that time, Xianglin tea in Xianglin Cave in Lingyin, Baiyun tea in Bai Yunfeng, and Baoyun tea in Baoyun Mountain in Geling were listed as tributes. During the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, it was recorded that "the tea in Hangjun is not as good as the production of Longjing, but the fine buds before the rain are especially precious."

Longjing tea began to have a good reputation in the Yuan Dynasty. Yu Ji, a tea lover, has a poem about drinking tea in a well in Youlong. The poem reads: "In the well of Youlong, clouds are steaming and Xia Wei. Cooking golden buds, three pharynx can't bear to wash "is widely sung. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River six times and Longjing four times, wrote six poems about Longjing tea, and personally sealed "eighteen imperial tea trees", which raised Longjing tea to the supreme position. After the Republic of China, Longjing Tea gradually became the first famous tea in China.
