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. 
Next the dried leaves are roasted on a moving belt over a wood fire. Then machines separate and grind the leaves. 
Another machine sifts the tea into full leaves, bits of leaves and powder. 
This is a big pile of roasted tea! Tea powder is what goes inside a tea bag. Loose leaves are what we use for masala chai (spiced tea). Our favorite tea is hot milk-tea with a lot of sugar!
