Fun and informative tour. Even in the rain we were able to pick our own tea leaves and see the mixing process. Forrest was a great host and gave us a lot of information about the history of tea in China and Hangzhou.

Forest's English guide was easy to understand and we had a great time! I learned a lot about the process of making Ryujing tea and the recent situation of tea production. Also, the beautiful tea plantations in the terraces are amazing! They dropped us off at the desired location and we were comfortable on the train.

This is a very local and amazing experience! Forrest was a phenomenal tour guide. He picked me up at the train station, and chauffeured me to a tea farm about 30 minutes away. at the farm, I was able to wear traditional clothing, pick tea leaves and process the tea leaves. The green tea here is phenomenal and I think I’m converted into a tea drinker. The only reason I would deduct 0.5 stars is because it seems a little sales pitchy at the end. During the tea tasting the woman leading the tasting was trying to sell me on medicinal green tea tablets for health which I was not at all interested in. I did end up purchasing loose leaf tea which was quite expensive but it can last up to 5 years in the freezer.
Knowledgeable guide and excellent experience.

The trip was amazing. We had Mr. Forest Gan as our personal guide. His knowledge about Hangzhou and Chinese tea made the trip even more interesting. We definitely recommend this tour for those who wanted to learn about Hangzhou and Chinese Tea especially Longjing green tea.
