tea plantations
Hillside leaf estates
Tea plantations are large agricultural estates devoted to growing tea, typically found in tropical and subtropical highland regions of Asia and Africa.
The term evokes colonial-era operations in places like India, Sri Lanka, and Kenya, where tea bushes cover hillsides in orderly rows: Workers on the tea plantation picked leaves by hand.
The plantation system often carries historical associations with exploitative labor practices.
