Hangzhou: Meijiawu Longjing Tea Picking & Tasting Tour

Private Meijiawu Longjing experience: tea picking, hand stir-frying, and guided tasting. Flexible timing, walk-ins welcome, no shared woks.
Start your visit at an authentic Meijiawu tea plantation, known as the hometown of West Lake Longjing green tea.

With an instructor by your side throughout the entire experience, you’ll be guided step by step—from identifying and picking the right tea leaves in the fields to hands-on traditional stir-frying with continuous coaching. After making tea, your instructor will lead a tasting of freshly prepared Longjing, explaining its aroma, flavor profile, and how picking season and processing influence the final cup.

This package includes tea picking, hand stir-frying, guided tea tasting, together with nuts, fruits, preserved snacks and refreshments.

The extended valley-view tea tasting, pre-Ming Longjing tasting, stone grinding for matcha, tea whisking experience, handmade tea sachets, souvenir tea cans and drone footage are not included in this listing.
If you would like these extra activities, please book our other separate experience listing that covers these items.

This is a private experience with no large group crowds, solo travelers welcome. Walk-ins are accepted with flexible scheduling. Tea roasting uses individual woks with no shared pots for hygiene and comfort.
