tea production

Camellia sinensis manufacturing

Tea production is the process of cultivating tea plants and processing their leaves into dried tea for brewing.

The steps vary by tea type but typically include plucking, withering, rolling, oxidizing, and drying.

Sri Lanka's tea production has declined due to drought.

The term covers both agricultural growing and factory processing.
