Zhejiang · Shaoxing · Tea origin guide
Explore Shaoxing’s Kuaiji black tea and understand how Zhejiang’s black-tea and Longjing green-tea origins differ.
Landscape and place
Shaoxing and the Kuaiji mountains form the focus of this Zhejiang origin page. Tea gardens and local making traditions sit within a province known for many different teas. Shaoxing’s black-tea story should not be confused with the protected West Lake Longjing area around Hangzhou.
The regional black-tea story
Kuaijihong applies Junmei black-tea making to local raw material. Its regional description highlights floral, fruity and honeyed notes with a soft texture. These are style references: the selected tea’s leaf standard and actual making still matter when you compare cups.
Other ways to explore this origin
Longjing is green tea. Its named production areas include West Lake, Qiantang and Yuezhou; only tea from the West Lake area is West Lake Longjing. Explore the separate guide to understand this distinction, and check the origin on each product rather than treating all Zhejiang tea as West Lake tea.
