Tea cultivation
It is important when growing tea that the plant is in nutrient rich soil, preferably in higher regions. The relative humidity and temperature are slightly lower in these areas and this improves the quality. Tea plantations are divided up into gardens. A different garden is harvested from every day. Only the young shoots of the shrub's branches are picked. Picking is an art in itself and is often done by women. The premiums received by the plantations go towards tools and employee training.
