We also went to visit a tea plantation. It was a large plantation surrounded by hills with rows and rows of tea plants. The tea leaves are all picked by hand. We had a tea tasting ceremony. We sat around a table in a pagoda looking out over the hills. A lady bought us glasses and into the glass is put a pinch of fresh green tea leaves to which she added a small amount of boiling water and she raised and lowered the pot of water to aerate it. From this very small amount of tea leaves you are able to make 4 cups of green tea.
