THE AMAZING TEA RACE 2020

What is the Amazing Tea Race?
 
The Amazing Tea Race is an educational journey into the true heart of tea - the tea farms. The Amazing Tea Race will not take you to see the tourist spots, or to the museums and temples. Our time will be spent in the fields, with the growers and with the tea.
 
 
The journey can take patience and endurance, as we travel to remote tea farms, hike up rugged mountains, and overcome language barriers. Thank you for being flexible and open-minded about this adventure - if you are ready, then the journey is incredibly rewarding.
