Day 6 Hangzou Tea Plantation

Green Tea fields, this was such a beautiful place.



They only pick the tea at the peak of season, it is the best in the world.

It is hand tossed in a warm metal bowl as it roast the hands feel when it is ready.




They gave us a great presentation on Tea. In China if you serve someone tea in a bag it is a sign you are not a very welcome guest.

They have special bottles that have filters so the tea leaves don't go in your mouth but the tea is loose on the bottom.

Our tour guide drank it all day long everyday.

More beautiful magnolia trees.



This felt like a scene from the movies, hats and all.
