Amazing - a Door to Chinese Culture - So Friendly so helpful so generous - This was an absolute fabulous experience. Gerry met me at my hotel and we took a taxi to the Wholesale Tea Market. Gerry introduced the history of the market really well. We visited a number of tea sellers. Gerry did an amazing job of interpreting and working with the sellers to explain the tea and taste and significance of ritual and equipment. We visited 3 tea sellers. They all provided many samples and we happy to talk in detail about their tea and brewing. There was absolutely no pressure and I want to repeat absolutely no pressure to purchase product. I did buy an Shu Ripe Pu-erh cake because I liked the tea a lot. It now home and its still excellent. I also purchased some magnificent Jasmine tea and some Mandarin Oranges pair with Yunnan Pu-erh. I have 15 of these, 3 have been used and they are magnificent. We also got a Gaiwan tea set and Gerry negotiated a fair price. Really great experience. If you have any interest in Tea,. culture, growing and brewing this is well well worth the morning. Thank you Gerry and apologies for the extended dealy in getting this posted.

Excellent tea experience - The tea market tour was an amazing experience! In the tea shops we visited, we were welcomed very hospitably, were served different types of tea and explained the origin of the tea, brewing method and drinking culture. Finally, we were shown a huge shop selling Chinese ceramics. The guide was extremely helpful, very kind and gave us an incredible amount of information and was very patient, taking a lot of time and adjusting to our tea needs. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended - We have spent a lovely morning sampling tea and learning more about this beverage. I would recommend this tour to any tea lover, but also to these people who are not tea drinkers like me: they might change their mind after sampling the huge amount of varieties (impossible not to find the perfect tea for you). A highly recommended full immersion. Also the transfer service was very handy: the local guide, Jerry, was waiting for us in the hotel lobby and we didn't have to worry to check the route to the market. Jerry has guided us through the many Chinese tea varieties excellently: he could speak very good English, he was very prepared and keen to answer all my questions. He was also very kind and polite. Highly suggested and must do experience when visiting Chengdu!
