Description
Three immersive hours of Dragon Well tea culture. Pick spring buds in hillside gardens, learn traditional hand-roasting, and enjoy a guided tasting. Take home your own freshly made tea sample.
Spend three immersive hours discovering the traditional art of Dragon Well tea in Hangzhou. Begin with a walk through the terraced hillside tea gardens, where you will learn how to identify high-quality spring buds and pick fresh tea leaves by hand. Under the guidance of a local tea expert, experience the traditional pan-roasting process using an iron wok, transforming freshly picked leaves into authentic Longjing tea.
After making your own tea, sit down for a guided tasting session to compare the flavors, aromas, and textures at different stages of processing. Learn how craftsmanship, harvest time, and roasting techniques influence the final taste. Before leaving, you will receive a freshly made sample of your own Dragon Well tea as a unique souvenir of your Hangzhou tea culture experience.
