West Lake Tea-Therapy Spa is located on Yuquan Road in Hangzhou's Xihu District, near the Yuquan hillside and the approach to Lingyin Temple, an area closely associated with the Longjing tea gardens that surround the western hills of West Lake. The spa builds its treatment menu around this local tea heritage, most notably a Longjing green tea body scrub that uses locally grown tea leaves as an exfoliant, alongside a tea-infused facial and a herbal tea foot soak. Aromatherapy massage rounds out the menu for guests seeking a more conventional full-body treatment. Therapists are trained in both Chinese herbal bodywork and Western-style aromatherapy technique, reflecting the spa's positioning as a hybrid day-spa serving both local residents and visitors touring the West Lake and Lingyin Temple area. Facilities are arranged as private treatment rooms rather than a bathing-pool format, with a tea-tasting lounge where guests can sample Longjing tea before or after treatments. The spa operates on a reservation basis, with treatment menus chosen at booking; walk-ins are accepted when rooms are available but are less reliable on weekends when nearby temple and lakeside foot traffic is heaviest.
