Wuyishan Tea Tasting & Training
The best way to enjoy and learn about the different teas that Wuyishan has to offer is by tasting unique teas made by local farmers. Each farmer may grow a different cultivar and process their teas in different ways.
During these tea tastings, the preparation steps of the teas will be explained. You'll taste many teas and compare the flavour and aroma.
At last, you'll also be shown around tea gardens as well as the factories where the teas are processed!
Wuyi Tea Sourcing
If your main goal is to find reliable suppliers, feel free ask the farmers about the prices of the teas you like. Keep in mind the weight unit used in China is 'yi jin' (一斤), which is equal to 500 grams (17.5 oz) of tea. Your local guide will help you communicate with the farmer.
A few tips:
- Focus first on tasting the tea.
- Communicate about how much quantity of tea you're looking for, when asking prices.
- Let the local guide know what kind of grade of teas and what price range you're looking for. The local guide can let the farmer know in advance, and select teas that suit you the most.
