We visited this tea plantation as part of our cheap TripADeal tour of China. It's like the pearl and silk factories - they do a demonstration and try to sell you something. The green tea here (at the plantation) tasted a damn sight better than we get in Australia - not nearly as bitter. They have various foods for sale too - ginger, flavoured nuts, etc (with free samples). I can't say I felt particularly pressured to buy. It was expensive. But a few of us did buy some products - I am interested at the medicinal qualities of green tea (at my age), so am happy to try something new. Pretty grounds too. For a compulsory part of a very cheap tour, it was pretty good.

Started out by our tour guide telling us on the bus how he drinks this tea and it is the best quality around (this is actually the start of the sales pitch). Then we drove through down the road passing many other tea shops and tea fields. Once arriving, we were brought into a farm style room where they proceeded to explain how the tea is made. After a small tasting of the tea, they explained all the benefits of their teas (assumably you will live forever using this tea and tea supplement). Then came the sales pitch. Basically another of the infomercial tours given in this chine tour.
