Wengjiashan Village Teahouse

Hangzhou


Simple teahouse, occupying the owners' family home, that sells the area's famous lóngjǐng (dragon well) tea. Teas range from ¥20 to ¥50 – the higher the price, the better the quality. You'll get a large glass of tea leaves that you can continuously top up with unlimited boiling water from the insulated flask provided.

The street, running south out of Wengjiashan Village, is full of family-run teahouses. Look out for this place's top-floor balcony, which has stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys.
