Hangzhou: From Leaf to Cup, Pick, Pan-Fry & Whisk Tea｜China

Stroll through the lush mountains and forests, dressed in traditional indigo tea-picking attire. Listen as local masters narrate the 1,200-year history of Longjing's development and the tea grading system.

Enter an ecological organic tea garden and follow tea masters to learn the "pinch pull" tea picking technique. Distinguish precious premium leaves and personally pick them, experiencing the hard-won "green gold" of famous tea.

Step into the ancient tea house, sit around a traditional iron pot, and practice hand-frying tea under the guidance of a tea master. Practice the ten techniques of tea making. Watch as fresh leaves slowly transform in the pot, and the rich aroma of roasted tea lingers in the air.

Featured experience session: Study the tea making techniques of the Song Dynasty, use a tea whisk to create dense tea foam, and draw your favorite patterns or Chinese characters on the water surface.

At the end of the trip, sit on the elegant tea garden terrace, enjoy the tea soup with the serene tea aroma, and pair it with Hangzhou-style specialty snacks such as osmanthus cake to complete a complete journey of Jiangnan tea culture.
