The plantation was very large. We saw lots of tea plants, but the first thing we learned was there is only one kind of tea plant! How we get many kinds of tea is because of where it is grown. The tea is in different climates so we get many different flavors.
This is how tea is made: First the tea leaves are trimmed off the tea plants. 
Then workers take the fresh leaves and suck the moisture out of the leaf. The factory uses big fans and trays for this.

It has a pool and we stayed upstairs. The color of the hotel is white, green and light red.
