A tea garden is a cultivated area where tea plants, specifically the Camellia sinensis species, are grown for the production of tea. These gardens are typically found in regions with suitable climates, such as India, China, and Sri Lanka. The plants thrive in well-drained soil and require specific conditions, including adequate rainfall and sunlight, to produce high-quality tea leaves.
In a tea garden, the leaves are carefully harvested, usually by hand, to ensure the best quality. After harvesting, the leaves undergo various processing methods, such as withering, rolling, and drying, to create different types of tea, including green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. Tea gardens play a vital role in the global tea industry and contribute to the economy of many countries.
