However, in today's information age, people are more inclined to receive intuitive and understandable image information when browsing information. Therefore, in order to promote the inheritance and development of West Lake Longjing tea culture, this work adopts the information visual design method to summarize and sort out the numerous and numerous fragmented information collected from the previous research, transform and create representative design elements such as visual symbols, illustrations and charts. According to the reading habits of contemporary people, a coherent visual guide line is designed to connect the design elements together, the appearance, production flow chart, contemporary people's tea drinking habits and origin characteristics of West Lake Longjing tea are presented in turn. People understand and accept the relevant knowledge of West Lake Longjing tea through this more intuitive and understandable information circulation method, and further understand the production technology and cultural connotation.

Foreign information visualization design started early, has a complete system, and has successful experience in streamlining content and improving visual appeal. In the information age, the unique design is more attractive, the research case of presenting tea knowledge with information visualization design is lacking, and the information visualization design of West Lake Longjing production technology has a lot of research space.
**Design research and ideas
Information collection: The author collects data through literature reading and field research, and classifies them by tree diagram.
Determine the information structure: first determine the structure, classify, filter, organize the information, and arrange it in logical order.
Design story lines: Design a coherent story line based on the information structure, with a starting point, a process, and an end.

**Tea Production Process Level Chart
-There are thirteen steps in making tea, and ten key techniques in Longjing frying. Layout to illustration as the main body, text and icon auxiliary.
