点评:This was a fantastic experience! My wife loves tea, but I’m not a big tea drinker. Therefore, I figured this would be mostly of interest to her and I was kind of “along for the ride“. However, I found the entire experience, absolutely fascinating and I am so glad that I didn’t miss it.
The grounds are stunningly beautiful. The land used to belong to a lavender farm and now has been converted to growing primarily tea. However, they have preserved myriad plantings from the lavender farm days, and there are beautiful specimens of all kinds of different plants scattered throughout the grounds. In addition to the beauty of the tea farm itself, it is situated high up on the slopes of Haleakala and has gorgeous views.
Our guide, Mason, was fantastic. He is very friendly and amazingly knowledgeable about the various plants, the grounds, and tea. He related all kinds of interesting facts about growing and preparing tea, as well as about all of the plants and the horticulture. He’s one of the best tour guides that we have had in our various explorations and excursions throughout the world.
They include a tea tasting in which we got to sample a number of really interesting and different teas. As I mentioned, I’m not a big tea drinker, but it was interesting to sample them with a knowledgeable guide (Mason) guiding us through the tasting process.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a delightful “up country“ excursion while staying on Maui.

场地美得令人惊叹。这片土地曾经属于薰衣草农场,现在已被改造成主要种植茶叶的地方。然而,他们保留了薰衣草农场时期的无数植物,场地各处散布着各种不同植物的美丽标本。除了茶园本身的美丽之外,它还位于哈莱阿卡拉山坡的高处,拥有美丽的景色。
我们的导游梅森非常棒。他非常友好,对各种植物、场地和茶都非常了解。他讲述了关于种植和准备茶叶的各种有趣事实,以及有关所有植物和园艺的知识。他是我们在世界各地进行各种探索和游览时遇到的最好的导游之一。
其中包括品茶,我们品尝了许多非常有趣和不同的茶。正如我所说,我不太喜欢喝茶,但有一位知识渊博的导游(梅森)指导我们完成品尝过程,品尝茶很有趣。
我强烈推荐给那些想在毛伊岛逗留期间享受一次愉快的“内陆”游览的人。
