This tea tour takes you to Yunnan, to the roots of tea. Tea culture originated in Yunnan several millennia ago; the tea plant has its origins in this province in south-west China. Yunnan offers the unique opportunity to visit tea plants that are several hundred years old and to witness the production of Pu Er and black teas. The roads to tea are lined with traditional villages of different minorities rooted in Yunnan and lead through impressive, unspoilt landscapes.
