Hello, fellow tea enthusiasts!
 
I am Jack Jiao, the founder of Hence Tea. For over a decade, I have had the privilege of traveling through China’s tea regions, mountains, and villages, discovering the finest teas and immersing myself in the rich tea culture. This journey, which began in 2013, has been a source of immense joy and inspiration for me.
 
Now, I want to share this wonderful journey with more tea enthusiasts like you. I am thrilled to announce the launch of our 2025 Tea Trip Programs, designed to offer you an extraordinary adventure into the heart of tea culture.
 
This is not just a tour; it’s a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in centuries-old tea traditions, explore breathtaking landscapes, and connect deeply with local communities. Together, we will:
  • Relaxation in Nature: Unwind amidst scenic tea gardens and tranquil landscapes.
  • Explore Ancient Tea Traditions and Cultural Immersion: Immerse yourself in centuries-old tea rituals, craftsmanship, vibrant local cultures, and historical tea regions.
  • Personal Wellness: Experience the rejuvenating power of tea for mind, body, and spirit.
Throughout our journey, we’ll learn from master tea artisans, witness the meticulous craftsmanship behind each tea leaf, and savor teas that are renowned for their unique flavors and rich histories. Beyond tea, we’ll delve into the vibrant cultures of the regions we visit, forging friendships and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
 
I will be personally guiding you on this trip, ensuring that every moment is enriching and enjoyable. As your guide, I am committed to making this experience not only educational but also profoundly enjoyable and impactful. I will be with you every step of the way, sharing my knowledge and passion for tea.
