During her home visit, Frances stayed with a family who had a connection to a tea farmer close to town. The Dad invited us out to spend the day picking tea and learning about how green tea is processed. We lucked out with the weather and were able to go today.
The dad and daughter picked us up and we headed west about 30 minutes to the more rural part of town. The landscape is covered in tea plants, which look like leafy, well-groomed bushes. When we arrived at the farmer's home, we were treated to tea drinking as well as some snacks of fruit (very exotic fruit) and sunflower seeds.
