It was an extraordinary authentic experience to go in the fields and pick our own tea leafs and afterwards experience the whole production’s process and taste the green tea and learn about the healthy effects. We had the sweetest guide and driver named Forrest who had huge knowledge and we enjoyed his company very much

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.

It was an awesome experience, especially pleased with our tourguide Forest, who was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to take great pictures of us. And you get the option to buy tea to bring home.

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.

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.

I booked this tour and the Yongfu Temple tour. Forrest is an amazing guide and I was not disappointed. He is very knowledgeable (I learned so much about Hangzhou and the history there) and accommodating, even helping store my luggage after the tour when I had extra time before my flight! I will definitely book another tour with Forrest the next time I am in Hangzhou!

This tour is beyond my expectation. I saw such a beautiful tea plantation and plucked tea leaves in person. I had a great guide Forrest, he was so attentive and knowledgeable. I would recommend his service if you happen to go to Hangzhou.

Today we took a tour with Forrest to the Longjing Tea Plantage and the Hangzhou Tea Museum. Forrest picked us up at our hotel at our convenient time and took us to the Longjing tea plantages to pick our own tea. He studied Tourism and English and gave us excellent English explanations about tea and the history of Hangzhou. Afterwards we visited the state-owned Tea House where we enjoyed Longjing Tea of highest quality and could also buy some tea. In the end we visited the Hangzhou Tea Museum, which is very recommendable, too. If wished he also has some great recommendations for affordable, local restaurants. Forrest was reachable via WeChat for us (just search his number) and fully adapted the program and timing to our needs. We can absolutely recommend his service.

We had a great tour of local tea culture and history with Forrest. Forrest was punctual and very professional. We enjoyed the tea plantation and the National tea museum, along with the tea tasting. Forrest was very kind and took us to Linglin temple and lent us his umbrella at the end of our time together. Highly recommend this tour!
