Travel to the Tian Mu Organic Tea Garden in Hangzhou

Tianmu Mountain (Eyes on Heaven Mountain), located in Lin’an, northwest in Zhejiang Province, a distance of 84 kilometers away from Hangzhou. Tianmu in Chinese means the eyes on heaven.

There is a pool on each top of east peak (elevation of 1480 meters) and west peak (elevation of 1506 meters) of Tianmu Mountain. The two pools look like the eyes that are watching the sky. This is how it was named.

Hangzhou, the seventh largest city in China, has been called “A paradise under the Jervois” since ancient times, as their heartfelt expression of the love of this city. Lin’an City, locates in Hangzhou, is a base of planting and producing organic tea. TeaVivre travelled miles for three days, and took a visit to the organic tea base of Lin’an – Lin’an Jiuli Tea garden.

On the high way of Lin’an. The stretching hills are parts of Tian’mu Mountain.

Jiuli tea garden is one of the organic tea gardens in Lin’an. It lies in the southwest of Lin’an. The garden is departed into two parts: northwest and southeast, totally covers an area of 300 mu (20 hectares). There are other 20 tea gardens in Lin’an besides Jiuli.

Standing in the garden and looking around, the view is all in your sight, beautiful and pleasant.

The garden is quiet. Tea trees grows silently in the arms of nature. Drizzling rains fall gently from the sky, covering the garden like gossamer gauze. You will probably lose yourself in the beautiful scenery.

Angle Chen loves to pick tea leaves by herself.
