TW-Tea, Time to harvest

Now its’ the harvest time for tea leaves, the third time of the year.

One of the famous teas from Taiwan is the Oriental Beauty, which is said that named by the Queen of UK, after she had the tea.

Tea, camphor, and cane sugar used to be three important agricultural products  in
taiwan in the 18-19th century. This should be a farm of black tea.

The formers asked her sons who were just off work to help for the harvest. It was really hot in the summer time, though it was already evening.

Four people are needed to utilise the machine. For some tea, such as Oriental Beauty must be done by hand.

This big bag may only cost less than $30 USD, as the dealer control the market price.

Next harvest time will be three months later.

It’s time to go home.
