China Tea Tour
Sept. 10-23. Tour of China, with Japan pre-extension: Sept. 7-9. Yixing/Shanghai post-extension: Sept. 24-26
From their website:

“This tour is a wonderful opportunity for those who like adventure and want to experience real Chinese tea culture in its native environment. Many of the places and people with whom we visit are not tourist sights and accessibility is restricted. Flexibility for change is a valuable quality, as travel in China can often be unpredictable. Hiking up mountains and getting a toe wet on a raft ride are common events. Participants should also be able to handle cultural differences with grace and respect and conduct themselves as visiting guests. Tour members should be in appropriate physical condition.”
