(Draft) Choui Fong Tea Plantation

Organic tea plantation. This place is beautiful and reminds me of Vineyards. They can grow green tea. It all has to be handpicked. In the dry season it takes 45 days and then it must be harvested. By hand and then the machine (also pulled across the top by hand) comes to chop the plants lower so they'll produce more. And the rainy season they pick every 21 days. Oolong tea is fermented for more caffeine. Oolong 12 must be grown between $300 and 500 ft above sea level. Oolong 17 is stronger and must be grown above 500 ft. Green tea is the same leaves and it can be sun-dried and then sold.

The plants all grow in rows. None of them are more than a meter high and most are closer to 60 cm.

Plants were imported from Taiwan.Leia mais
