The West Lake district to Tangjie has about 10,600 acres of tea plantation. This area is the largest producer of West Lake Longjing tea, producing about 60% of it. These past two days in the upper city dam and the Daqing Residential district tea villages the West Lake Longjing #43 has already begun to be harvested. The local residents say that because the weather has been good this year’s Longjing will be better that that of last year. The total amount of produced tea, however, is hard to estimate. There will almost surely be an increase in price with every kilogram selling for about 600 RMB.
