Tea Farmers

Tea farmers are agricultural workers who cultivate and harvest tea plants, mainly Camellia sinensis, for processing into tea. They typically work on plantations or small farms, managing the land, nurturing the plants, and carefully picking the tender leaves at the right time to ensure quality. Their work involves understanding the plant's growth cycle, maintaining soil health, and sometimes processing the leaves. Their efforts directly affect the flavor, aroma, and quality of the tea we enjoy. Tea farming is often labor-intensive and depends on weather conditions, tradition, and sustainable practices.
