Green tea harvest and rain
We've been waiting for green tea harvest from this young field. While plants are young, it's good time for handpicking though it's not the most productive form of tea making. We had clear blue sky this morning unlike most other days and went ahead with harvesting. While plucking our way through the tea field, fog drifted in and and soon enough rain started to sprinkle. We were just finishing up with the harvest. Rain is always a big factor that determines our harvest quality. Understanding and being able to predict weather forecast is a big advantage to getting better tea quality.
