Zisun tea, a prized tea variety from Huzhou in Zhejiang province, was recently recognized on the popular TV drama A Journey to Love, with the characters showering praise upon the exquisite tea.

Being cultivated on Guzhu Mountain in Huzhou's Changxing county, Zisun tea has a rich history dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). During this period spanning more than six centuries, it was chosen as a tribute to the emperor. Its exceptional quality earned it the title of the best tea, as declared by Lu Yu in his influential work The Classic of Tea - widely recognized as the world's first tea culture monograph.

For those seeking to immerse themselves in China's fascinating cultural heritage, the Datang Tribute Culture Tourism Resort is an essential stop. Serving as the original royal tea processing facility in China, this historical site presents a unique opportunity to savor the unrivaled flavors of Zisun tea.
