The weather was absolutely gorgeous today, so it was a good day to visit a Tea Plantation. This area gets a lot of rain so they have many tea plantations that grow green tea. This area is known for its Dragon Well Green Tea, supposed to be the best Chinese green tea.
We wandered through the rows of tea plants in the fields and interacted with the ladies who pick the tea leaves. They were very friendly and smiling at us and showing us their baskets of leaves. Only women pick the leaves because of their smaller fingers. They also only allow the tea plants to stay small like bushes, if they grow into trees much of the energy is put into the trunk and not all into the leaves.
The buildings at the Plantation were very picturesque with saturated colors and detail. There were ponds with koi and many places to sit and admire it all. We relaxed while the boys played with koi and turtles. 
There were abandoned puppies found at the plantation so they brought them out for the boys to play with. I think this was the highlight of the visit for the boys! They must have been less than a week old, their eyes weren’t even open yet. To make things even more excited, they asked the boys to feed them with bottles! 
We learned about how they make the tea, it’s benefits and how to make and drink it properly. The tea is really tasty and it was a nice way to spend the morning, surrounded by the green fields in the middle of a Chinese garden, warm sun on your back, and green tea in your hand.
