Overview

Stroll through lush mountain forests in traditional indigo tea-picking attire. Listen to local masters share the 1,200-year history of Longjing tea and its grading system. Explore an ecological organic tea garden, learn the "pinch-pull" picking technique, identify premium tea buds and pick them by hand to experience the hard-earned "green gold" of this famous tea. **Complimentary 3–5 minute raw drone footage included.**

Enter the teahouse and gather around a traditional iron wok. Try hand-firing tea under masters’ guidance and learn the ten core tea-making techniques. Watch fresh leaves transform in the wok as rich roasted tea aroma fills the air.

Featured experience: Learn Song Dynasty tea art. Use a tea whisk to create frothy tea foam and draw your favourite patterns or Chinese characters on the tea surface.

At the end of the tour, relax on the elegant tea garden terrace. Sip fragrant tea and enjoy unique tea plantation flavours, concluding a complete Jiangnan tea culture journey.
