ยAbout experience
Day 1 โ Taipei City
โข Fly into Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport near Taipei. By the time youโve transferred to your hotel in the capital, weโll have finalized a plan for the rest of the day that matches your interests and energy levels.
โข Weโll experience a tea ceremony, led by a local tea master and featuring a selection of Taiwan's finest teas. Alternatively, we may take the Maokong Gondola up to the tea plantations in the southwestern part of the capital, and have dinner - with some excellent local tea, of course.
Day 2 โ Hsinchu and Miaoli
โข After a morning visit to one of Taipeiโs famous tea sellers, today weโll be driving into the Hakka heartlands of Hsinchu and Miaoli. This is where Taiwanโs oriental beauty tea is grown. Weโll try local green, oolong and oriental beauty teas, and take a look at the pre-World War II tea-processing equipment preserved inside.
โข Dinner will include Hakka delicacies. In the past, many Hakka dishes were regarded as oily and salty; in line with the modern preference for healthy fare, innovative chefs have updated the cuisine, while retaining its characteristic pork and pickle flavors.
Day 3 โ Lugu Tea District
โข Heading south again, weโll make a lengthy stop in the tea-growing district of Lugu, to immerse ourselves in one of Taiwanโs most beautiful bamboo forests, and lunch on bamboo, mountain chicken, and vegetables grown locally. We will, of course, sample some of the fine oolong teas that have won a global reputation.
โข Dinner will be near your accommodation at Shizhuo, 1,000 m or so above sea level and another famous tea-growing area. We recommend a local speciality: chicken basted in tea oil.
Day 4 โ Tea Plantations and National Forest
โข Weโll have the entire day to explore the Greater Alishan region, visit tea plantations, meet farmers and try their teas. The scenery throughout is wonderful; if youโd like to go for a hike, weโll show you a trail that matches your physical condition.ย
โข We can go for a gentle stroll through the forests, take a look at Dinghu, a tea-growing village even higher than Shizhuo, or meet a lady who gathers wild coffee in the indigenous village of Laiji.
Day 5 โ Scenic drive
โข Whatever time you fly out, weโll help you make the very most of your final day in Taiwan. Before putting you on the bullet train at Chiayi HSR Station, we can bring you to the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, which has a superb permanent exhibition about tea culture, as well as sections devoted to Asian textiles, Buddhist Art and other themes.

โข Prices based on twin sharing. Single supplement is US$255.
