Tea estate

A tea estate is a large farm dedicated to cultivating tea plants, primarily Camellia sinensis. These estates are often situated in regions with suitable climates and elevations, providing ideal conditions for tea growth. The process involves plant cultivation, plucking the tender leaves, and processing them into different types of tea. Tea estates may include areas for planting, processing facilities, worker accommodations, and sometimes visitor centers. They play a vital role in the tea industry, supporting local economies and maintaining traditional farming and processing practices. Ultimately, tea estates produce the raw materials that are transformed into the teas enjoyed worldwide.
