We curated a journey through the places, people, and tea we love most, offering a deep dive into our shared passion.

Starting in Shanghai, we travel to Yixing to meet master ceramicists Yuan Weixin and Lian Meiping. We then head to Wuyishan to explore the multiple micro-environments that make the rock tea so special, the origin of red teas in its scenic landscapes of Tongmuguan, and the famed Jianzhan pottery of Jianyang.

The second half takes us to our home of Yunnan: from studying gongfucha in Kunming to visiting key pu’er regions like Laobanzhang, Hekai, Nannuo, and Yiwu, walking the mountain paths and sharing our time with farmers and professionals.

This journey embodies the spirit of Eastern Leaves—tea, culture, landscapes, and the people who shape our story.

This immersive tour explores the legendary tea mountains of Xishuangbanna, from the ancient forests of Nannuo to the revered villages of Laobanzhang and Yiwu.

We will witness the first sprouts of the season, participate in tea production, and taste the freshest leaves directly with the growers. The itinerary includes profound workshops on Gongfucha and Yixing teaware with master scholars, visits to pottery artisans, and deep cultural immersions into the Dai and Hani traditions.

Designed and led by tea farmers and scholars, this is a unique opportunity to experience the awakening of the tea mountains at a slow, meaningful pace, connecting with the people and places that define our passion.
