West Lake Longjing 18 Imperial Tea Trees refers to the 18 Longjing tea trees located around Longjing Village in Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, which are regarded as the best imperial tea trees in China. These tea trees are generally between 100-200 years old, and after years of cultivation and management, the Longjing tea leaves produced have an elegant aroma, green soup color, and a sweet and refreshing taste, which are loved by people at home and abroad.

These imperial tea trees grow in Longjing Village in Hangzhou's West Lake Scenic Area, where environmental conditions such as climate, soil and water are very suitable for the growth of Longjing tea trees. During the spring harvest every year, the new buds of these tea trees are picked and then steamed, kneaded, dried and other processes, resulting in a very expensive and popular Longjing tea.

Longjing tea is one of the most famous teas in China and one of the representatives of Chinese green tea. It is characterized by its elegant aroma, fresh taste and bright green soup color. The quality and taste of Longjing tea is closely related to factors such as the growing environment and the harvesting method, so the tea produced by the eighteen Imperial Tea Trees of West Lake Longjing is particularly precious and is regarded as one of the top-quality Longjing teas.
