5.00it was a real immersion in the heart of the plantations. Our guide was exceptional, his mastery of the tea and coffee cycles is impressive, he knew how to answer all our questions. A day in total immersion in rural and agricultural areas, a perfect discovery of tea and coffee culture, from the simplest flavor to that of exceptional taste. Landscapes as far as the eye can see on nature and cultures, a parenthesis to this urban environment! Each visit, finalized with a tasting of different flavors and aromas. A fine gourmet meal from the Dai... Thank you to our guide for a wonderful day of good humor and generosity.
An up close and personal experience. Highly recommend.

5.00Maxime provided a very rewarding and educational experience. I highly recommend it. We started with a relaxing drive to a tea estate for tastings and a tour of the processing facility. The host was gracious and answered all of my questions, which were many. Maxime's personal relationship with the host of the estate was evident throughout. We tasted many teas from the estate through multiple pulls and I was able to purchase much of what I tasted. In fact, I'm having some of it now in my hotel room in Dali. We ended the day with a delicious meal and tasting at a small but vibrant coffee estate south of Pu'er. They produce coffee harvested directly from their fields. All the processing is done on site. The tastings were many and the variety was exceptional. As a capstone to the day, Maxine drove me through the heart of "coffee valley". We were able to see some of the large processing facilities and experience the heart of the vibrant coffee culture in Yunnan. Thank you for a wonderful day Maxime.
