TEA TIME
Visiting Mount Wuyi is just like touring Bordeaux’s wine country in France, says Daphne. “It’ll elevate your knowledge and appreciation of tea to another level.” For the best experience, she suggests visiting during the cooler months when there are fewer tourists, and the plantations are not too busy with the harvest to entertain visitors. Private plantation tours can be arranged by most hotels; or, simply make friends with plantation owners by dropping in at the many teahouses in the San Gu area.
