Formerly, west lake dragon well tea is divided into super level and 1 to 10 class( tatally 11 levels), and super level is

divided into 3 classes, the other levels are then divided into 5 classes. That is to say, it’s difficult to distinguish the

levels of longjing tea, except that you are an expert, who are very familiar with the longjing tea. Until 1995, it is

simplified to super level(only super 2 and super 3 level) and one to four level. And in the same year, Zhejiang longjing tea

is divided into super and one to five level, tatally 6 levels.
