These rooftop tea gardens in Hangzhou is indeed a great concept

China is recognized as the “Birth place of tea”. Chinese love their cuppa and they are so passionate on their favourite beverage, “Tea”. Tea is a way of life in China. Even a lifetime is not enough to complete studying on Chinese tea. There are different tasting profiles from very melow silver needle white tea to strong dark pu-erh. Sizes are also ranging from fine matcha powder to few inches long Taiping Hou kui. Lush green Chinese tea fields are so pleasant to view. But growing tea on rooftops is indeed an interesting concept. As People’s Daily Online had reported, In Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province in Eastern China, the rooftops of 11 high-rise buildings within a commercial and art complex have been transformed into vibrant tea gardens. These gardens have become a popular destination, attracting many visitors during the tea harvesting season.

Covering a total area of approximately 6,000 square meters, the rooftop tea gardens feature West Lake’s famous Longjing tea, a variety of green tea grown in Hangzhou. West Lake Longjing is also recognized as the No 1 in China. In addition to this, Matcha tea powder coming from Hangzhou is also quite popular among tea lovers. Hangzhou’s high-rise tea gardens give visitors the joy of viewing the breathtaking city skyline while experiencing tea harvesting.

In addition to creating a picturesque urban scenery, the rooftop tea gardens also offer practical benefits such as providing shade during the hot summer months, which helps reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of the buildings below.

This particular complex has become a model project for other rooftop greening initiatives in Hangzhou, blending urban tourism with traditional tea culture.
