    You'll be picked up in the morning from your hotel/ train station, and drive to the place of origin of the best Dragon Well tea – Meijiawu Tea Village. A local tea specialist will welcome you with bamboo baskets, and accompany you to the tea plantation. Your first task will be to choose appropriate tea leaves and pick them in the right way. After tea-picking, the tea specialist will take you home and show you the process of stir-frying tea. This process dehydrates the leaves and helps preserve their beautiful green color. If you like, you can have a go—be careful, though, the huge iron pot is very hot (around 200℃). The tea specialist will show you the art of the tea ceremony, and introduce you to the proper way to taste tea.

We booked a tour in Hangzhou and our tour guide Gerry is very caring and knowledgeable. We had a great time with him. He was so flexible to change a place for us to visit. He also helped us book the show of impression west lake. Highly recommend Gerry as an excellent guide and person.

This tour to Meijiawu Tea Village was a unique local experience. We got to know a local tea farmer, a delightful woman with a beautiful smile, who showed us her tea plantation and introduced us to the art of producing and serving tea. The guide who accompanied us, Yolanda, was very knowledgeable of Hangzhou and very patient with us, answering to all our questions promptly. Thank you, Yolanda, for a great day!

We booked a half-day tour to visit a Dragon Well tea village and the Temple Soul’s Retreat. Our guide, Yolanda, made everything to make the tour enjoyable and interesting. More than her competent explanations about the tour, we started to talk to her about many other subjects about the region and China, almost as she was a new friend we made in the city. One important aspect about the visit to the tea village was that we were really visiting a family of tea farmers, that showed us the fields and their house, made us taste different kinds of tea, etc. It was really "one-to-one", totally different from "mass-tourism" tour. It was really a very enjoyable morning, thanks to China Highlights and to Yolanda.
