In recent years, Chinese tea culture has been gaining unprecedented momentum. The number of teahouses and the new-style "tea-art houses" keeps growing, and tea culture research institutes are being established across China. Among them, we must particularly mention the China National Tea Museum, located by the West Lake of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, home to the famous Longjing (Dragon Well) Tea. Since it was opened in 1991, the museum has been dedicating itself to promoting Chinese tea culture by means of exhibitions and research works that attempt to delve into the deeper structure of the art.
