China Tea Museum is the only one of its kind in the country. Opened to the public in April 1991, the museum is located in Double Peaks Tea Village of West Lake Township, occupying a total area of 37,000 square meters.

This State-level museum displays the tea culture of China of some five thousand years' standing. Its buildings dot the green tea plantations on a row of hills at the back. A stream meanders in front of the museum. The whole place looks rather like a landscape garden of the style of the southern Yangtze area. 

On exhibition are: History of Tea-drinking, Tea of Different Flavors and Curing Techniques, Tea-drinking and Health, Artistry of the Tea Sets, and Customs on Tea-drinking. Affiliated to the museum is the Flavor Tea House where one could enjoy tea from different provinces, of different flavors, while watching the process of brewing tea in a most formal and standard way. After that, one may join the tea-pickers to pick tealeaves in the plantation or try one's hand in curing the leaves.
