Forrest is very nice and prepared. He promptly answered all our questions. The tour is nice and is composed as follows: A few minutes spent picking tea on the plantation (which is very beautiful and scenic) then you go inside where they explain the steps and show you the drying, then they make you try green tea. And finally a last mini walk in the plantation. (2 hours more or less) I put 4 stars because the price seems a bit high for the business but it was still nice for me who had never seen a plantation
Such an enjoyable and...

Experience on a tea plantation in China

We visited a real tea plantation, accompanied DA a very knowledgeable guide, who spoke excellent English and was also kind in picking us up. The experience, however, proved to be a bit limited compared to the cost, especially for a small group of four people: about 15 minutes dedicated to picking leaves on the plantation, another 15 to observe the production process and about 50 minutes for tasting tea. Overall, I recommend the experience only to large groups: in my opinion, it does not justify a price above 20 euros per person.
Fun and informative tour....

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.
