Tea tasting in Shanghai

Published on Jan, 2025

I requested a Tea Ceremony and Sunny took me to old town, around Yu Garden, on the holiday of Jan 1st. Shanghai was very crowded and Sunny expertly navigated us through, to have our appointment with a great Tea Specialist, who explained, taught about and prepared different teas, their use and history. Enlightening experience

Best tour ever

The guide was exceptional as she has long history of China to share. Knew all the local spots, arranged amazing tea ceremony and improvised by taking us to the Shanghai Tower super quickly. Having a local guide gave us such insight into the history

Loved my tour of Yu Yuan & private tea tasting !

Published on May, 2024

I had a wonderful trip going to Yu Yuan. May was an excellent tour guide anc very knowledgeable. she was wonderful about explaining elements of the Chinese garden and architecture, which I find fascinating. . She gave me a very good tour of the entire area and answered all my questions. We went to a restaurant with a little tea shop on the second floor and were able to have a lovely tea ceremony in a private room. I was able to choose five different kinds of tea and we were able to have a lovely tea ceremony in a private room. I was able to choose five different kinds of teas for tasting. Each of them was prepared in a different kind of teapot. It was really an amazing experience and it made my trip to Shanghai special. I only I bought a couple kinds of tea, but there was definitely hope by the owner that I would buy more.

A must do trip!
