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.

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. Strongly recommend booking with Forest and he can tailor make a whole tour for you anywhere in Hangzhou!

Cute experience, the guide Forrest very prepared - 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

Experience on a tea plantation in China - 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.

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.
