Tea planting techniques

Tea planting involves several key techniques to ensure healthy growth and high-quality leaves. First, selecting the right location is crucial; tea plants prefer well-drained, acidic soil and a climate with ample rainfall and some shade. Planting typically involves spacing young tea plants adequately to allow for sunlight and air circulation. Pruning is essential for bush shape and leaf quality. Fertilization and regular weeding help maintain soil health. Finally, careful harvesting of the tender top leaves, known as flushes, ensures optimal flavor. These practices together help cultivate a successful tea garden.
