Matcha Manor, a unique ecological matcha base, was established by the patriotic overseas Chinese Guo Songmei in 2005. Upon her return to China, she embarked on a mission to reclaim wasteland and start a business. The manor has been recognized with ten years of EU organic certification and prides itself on being free from herbicides. Nestled in the tea integration area of Xiajiang Village, Matcha Manor offers more than just meticulously managed tea fields.
The manor is home to a matcha culture experience center, a popular spot for Hanfu photography, and a small paradise for parent-child activities. It has also served as the backdrop for the movie ‘My People, My Homeland’ – ‘The Last Lesson’ and the TV series ‘We Are at the Place Where Dreams Begin’. In response to the demands of modern living, the old houses within the tea garden have been tastefully renovated.
In October 2020, the ‘Three-Day Tea Hut’ homestay was introduced, offering a blend of traditional and contemporary comforts. The ‘Three-Day Tea Hut’ comprises five tea lodgings, each designed in a Japanese style both inside and out. Guests can enjoy the serenity of a dry landscape garden and the tranquility of a matcha dojo. The experience includes soaking in hot springs, sipping tea soup, sampling Japanese cuisine, and gazing out at the expansive tea fields.
Each tea lodge features a loft structure with ample space, complete with a bathtub for a luxurious soak while taking in the view. On clear nights, guests can drift off to sleep under a canopy of stars. The homestay’s meals are crafted from wild vegetables and tea buds harvested from the garden during spring and summer, offering a cooling effect to reduce internal heat. The soup is made from organic silver carp sourced from the lake.
