Hangzhou Song Dynasty Tea Whisking Experience with English Guide

This private Hangzhou tea experience introduces local tea culture through a hands-on format rather than a simple tasting. Your English-speaking guide handles pickup, translation, and cultural explanation. Depending on the season and venue, the experience may include a tea garden visit, tea-house session, leaf selection, roasting or whisking demonstration, and a guided tasting. Materials and tea tools are prepared in advance. The route is arranged to be easy for travelers while still giving useful local context.
