West Lake Longjing tea is one of the 10 most famous kinds of Chinese tea. Roasting (炒)tea leaves by hand gives it a nice smell and a sweet taste. In 2008, this way of roasting Longjing tea was added to China's national intangible cultural heritage list(国家级非物质文化遗产名录).
Fan Shenghua is one of the inheritors(传承人)of the Longjing tea roasting technique. He started making Longjing tea 40 years ago. His father taught him how to do it at 14.
"When I put my hands into the hot pot for the first time, I was scared and quickly drew my hands back," Fan said. "But my father told me, 'This will be your life's work, my son.'"
Fan's family has been making hand-roasted tea for many years. But these days, more people are using machines to do the job.
“It's easier,but the quality is not as good as handmade tea，”Fan said.“Machine-made tea floats(漂浮)longer in water and tastes bitter(苦涩的).”
Fan is now teaching young people how to roast tea. He hopes that he can pass down this skill.
West Lake Longjing tea isn't just a drink—it's a taste of Chinese culture. Next time you see it, take a sip and imagine the misty West Lake hills!
