Opened in Hangzhou, in 1991, the National Tea Museum follows the history and culture of Chinese tea from prehistoric to modern times. The museum is located in Dragon Well Village, home of the famous Dragon Well Tea. The museum’s buildings occupy an area of 3,500 square meters. The buildings are located in a beautifully manicured park-like area of 22,000 square meters.
The museum is broken down into four different sections and the exhibits are labeled in English and Chinese. The first section shows the history of Chinese tea, from its prehistoric beginning, to today. There are antiques and fossils exhibited. The second section shows the six categories of Chinese tea and their many varieties. The third section shows how different teas are processed and exhibits some of the tea processing machines used. The fourth section is a museum of antique tea ware. The collection is very comprehensive and shows how tea ware has changed over the centuries. Before the exit are full-size reproductions of tea houses from different parts of China, including; Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan.
The museum’s grounds were as carefully planned as the museum itself. The museum is surrounded by fields of tea trees, streams with small bridges, wandering paths dotted with statuary, and small pavilions to drink tea.
