Children learn to make tea in a traditional way.
Visitors to the museum's new branch－opened in a hillside plantation in Longjing village last year to focus more on activities than exhibitions－can study customs surrounding Longjing and other teas, such as serving ceremonies.
The museum receives more visitors from abroad than any other in Hangzhou, Wu says.
It stands near the well from which Longjing claims its eponym, which translates as Dragon Well. The appellation hails from the ancient belief the shaft was a portal to a dragon's lair, since it sustained the sole water source during droughts.
This history－or at least lore－today charms visitors enchanted by Longjing's cultural cultivation.
