Hangzhou is the home of Longjing (Dragon-well) green tea, and this private tour brings you into the heart of that tradition. Hotel pick-up and drop-off and round-trip vehicle transfer are included. You will travel to the Dragon Well Tea Village and take in the terraced plantations and the authentic, breath-taking views that surround them.
On site, you will learn how tea leaves are picked using traditional equipment and find out why some processes, such as hand-frying leaves in a wok, are still used. Along the way, common questions about tea will be answered — for example, when is the best time to drink a cup of green tea and what health benefits it may offer. The visit includes a stop at a traditional tea house where you will take part in a tea ceremony, giving you a direct taste of local tea culture. These hands-on moments and the scenery will deepen your understanding of Longjing tea and its place in daily life in Hangzhou.
