1.
Plucking and
weighing!
Plucking and weighing the tea leaves
The tea leaves have to be plucked because if you don’t pluck the tea leaves it will grow up to 20
meters high. Some tea leaves are plucked by hands but some are by machines. After they
are plucked they will be weighed. A handful size of the tea weighs around 6.5gm.
2.
Drying the leaves
The tea leaves are dried in machines. It takes two hours to dry all the tea leaves.
Don’t you think it is a long time to dry the tea leaves? So tea is very hard to be made.
Those people who make tea, they are very patient and hard-working. In the olden
days, they laid out the tea on tables because they didn’t have machines. But there are some
countries still dry the tea leaves on the table today.

Drying
the leaves!
Rolling the tea leaves and Cutting
Tea-makers also use a kind of machine to roll the leaves. Because that is easier to roll the tea leaves.
They cut the dirty parts of the tea leaves but they leave the healthy parts of them. Cutting the leaves
takes a long time because they have to do that only by hands but not machines.

Rolling the tea
leaves and
cutting!
Rolled tea leaves
Sorted in groups
Why do we sort the tea? Because there are so many types of tea like Oolong tea, Green tea, Mint
tea, Herb tea just for example. Don’t think there are just four kinds of tea. There are loads more. Tea
sometimes tastes sweet but sometimes bitter and also sometimes sour. After sorting they will package
the tea leaves.

Sorted in
groups!
We drink the yummy tea!
Then we buy it from the shop.First step we put the dried leaves into the pots and then we put hot
water inside and we will have to wait a few minutes. Second step we pour it in our cups. Sometimes
when you open the package you will see a bag, inside the bag their is dried leaves.We put it in the
hot water and then we wait for two or three minutes.Inside the tea there is a thing called caffiene.
Actully the tea can also be used as medicine.
