What Makes This Tour Extraordinary?

  • ▶ Curated Tea Regions: Drawing from years of travel experience, this Tea Tour itinerary aims to provide a tailored and immersive tea experience in controlled environments. The most dangerous part of the tour is travelling in the car up the Tea Mountains. Working with our trusted Tea J Tea farmers, we've crafted a stress-free 7-day journey that brings you straight to the heart of Vietnam's finest tea regions. Each location has been carefully selected to provide an unparalleled exploration of Vietnamese tea culture.
  • ▶  Authentic Connections : You'll meet local tea artisans. So you can build your own direct connections and engage in knowledge sharing with these local tea masters. Ask them all the questions you want about the local tea culture and learn about their mastery.
  • ▶  Hands-On Experiences : You will get to explore different tea techniques from lotus tea workshops to harvesting your own “tribute” tea and exploring ancient tea forests. Some of these traditional techniques and insights are captured in books or online tutorials but experiencing it firsthand is on a whole different level—they're living traditions passed down through generations, waiting to be experienced by you.
  • ▶  Diverse Experiences : Beyond tea, it's a journey through Vietnam's multifaceted landscape. We've carefully balanced intensive tea learning with leisure activities, including iconic Vietnamese tourist attractions, local culinary adventures, and recreational experiences. Enjoy water boat tours, meditative experiences, and explore breathtaking natural landscapes that showcase the rich tapestry of Vietnamese culture.
