  Flexible pick up time and private transfer were amazing. We knew a lot when on the way to the tea plant. Kids were very exited to wear traditional clothe for tea picking and overall the process. It’s very hard to show for kids all the steps of tea production that they were interested and guide did it 100%. We’ve known that we can: not only drink tea, but even eat leaves from tea. And super bonus that price for this tour with English speaking guide was cheaper than for a group trip (from 10to 40 people) that made our experience ten times better)) thank you very much for the tour

  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 memorable experience – highly recommend! Forrest was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts. He also showed us some lovely spots in Hangzhou. Thanks to him and the team for such a great day!

  We visited a real tea plantation, accompanied by 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. 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.

• Authentic, Local, Green Tea Experience

  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.

• Poor organization

  Not very happy with this experience. On the morning of the tour we prepared and waited for the guide forward the Hotel but he did not arrive. After contacting her she said that the tour could not be done (without notifying and having already paid the cost of the tour). After our complaints the guide Gerri showed up very nice his explanation but even there he did not know the slightest what we had paid for. We've done half the things listed here. Overall bad organization. It gave a lot of the feeling of grip by the bottoms. I do not sincerely recommend it.
