Great guide, beautiful plantation - Forest is a very energetic and knowledgeable guide with a comfortable car. He was very flexible when we asked for some adjustments. The tour was great, it was a lovely experience to pick the tea in the beautiful plantation and meet the professional picking ladies.

Wonderful trip to tea fields - Super nice experience visiting tea business not too far from Gangzhou! We were picked up at the hotel by Forrest, who speaks excellent English, is super kind and knows a lot about the area here. We were able to go into the fields to pick some leaves - then learned how to roast them, followed by tasting some excellent fresh green tea. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing experience for tea lovers - Amazing experience! I can truly recommend it for those who are interesting in the story about tea and trying the original Hangzhou green tea.

The best tour in town! - The tea tour with Forest was hands down one of the best things that we did during our trip in China! Forest was the best guide who provided an extremely authentic and honest insight into Chinese culture and history which was so fascinating. Forest is extremely knowledgeable on tea culture (including both the production and tea history) and is also an extremely friendly guide with a brilliant command of English. On the tour we managed to learn how Chinese tea is made from root to source (quite literally as we picked our own tea leaves in the field!) and the influence that tea has on Chinese culture. Amazing!!

Longjing tea farm - The tea farm tour was an amazing and fun experience. We got way more than we expected, with a tea leaf picking experience as well as roasting the tea on top of touring the farm. Our guide Forest was super nice and friendly. He came on time to pick us up from our hotel. He told us stories along the way. The van was spacious and clean. Overall an excellent experience. 100% worth it. We highly recommend it.
