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.

Knowledgeable Guide - 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.

Super fun experience for tea lovers! - 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!

Beautiful Tea Fields - 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.

Great tour! - 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!

Authentic experience! - 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.

A tour with Forrest is definitely recommendable - great tour & excellent English explanations - 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.
