The best tour in town!

The tea tour with Forest was hands down one of the best things that we did during our trip in China! Forest was the best guide who provided an extremely authentic and honest insight into Chinese culture and history which was so fascinating. Forest is extremely knowledgeable on tea culture (including both the production and tea history) and is also an extremely friendly guide with a brilliant command of English. On the tour we managed to learn how Chinese tea is made from root to source (quite literally as we picked our own tea leaves in the field!) and the influence that tea has on Chinese culture. Amazing!!
A must see

Forest was a great tour guide, the plantation was beautiful, and the tea was great. Seeing, tasting and learning all about the tea was definitely worth every penny.

This tour was excellent. We picked some tea leaves, watches the drying process and had a tea ceremony. What made the tour so great was our guide, Forest. Because he sometimes picked tea as a young boy. He is very knowledgeable about tea. Forest also shared a lot about Hangzhou’s history with tea and it was very interesting.
Super fun experience for tea lovers!

My little sister and I loved learning about tea and picking the tea. We could've been out in the field for hours. Forrest (our guide) was lovely and accommodating, as well as informative. The experience when we went was short, and there was a bit of a sales pitch for the tea at the end. But overall, it was fully worth it. Highly suggest!

Great experience with Forrest. He was very flexible on timing and when we needed to make changes to the reservation. He provided great background information on the drive and showed us where the tea is processed. My family is local and told me that the location and company is well respected. Note that the tea drinking session was informative, but they are also selling their products. However, they also gifted us 2 small canisters of tea.
