tea plantation
Hillside leaf cultivation
A tea plantation is a large agricultural estate devoted to growing tea plants for commercial production.
These operations are typically found in tropical and subtropical highland regions—India, Sri Lanka, China, Kenya—where climate and terrain suit tea cultivation.
The term evokes colonial-era agriculture, with its hierarchical labor systems and vast, manicured hillsides of tea bushes.
