Longjing was first mentioned on 8 March 2008. Century. At that time, the taste and aroma of this tea was appreciated by the Chinese emperor Kansi. According to legend, during a trip to the western lake, he went to the Hu Gang monastery.
There he was offered a cup of tea made from bush leaves that grew next to the monastery. He was so puzzled by the taste of tea that he attributed the status of emperor to the bushes. These shrubs are still alive and are a sight for tourists.
