A tea plantation is a large area of land where tea plants, specifically the Camellia sinensis species, are cultivated. These plantations are typically found in regions with suitable climates, such as India, China, and Sri Lanka. The process involves planting, nurturing, and harvesting the tea leaves, which are then processed to produce various types of tea.
Workers on tea plantations often engage in manual labor, picking the tender leaves by hand. The harvested leaves are then taken to processing facilities where they are dried, rolled, and packaged. The quality of tea produced can vary based on factors like soil, climate, and cultivation methods, contributing to the diverse flavors and types of tea enjoyed worldwide.
