Explanation:

Tea grows best in regions with a cool and humid climate, well-distributed rainfall through the year and well- drained soil, like the loamy soil. Hence tea planters need areas with sloping grounds as the slope ensures that water does not clog. Temperature: 21°C to 29°C is ideal for the production of tea. High temperature is required in summer. The lowest temperature for the growth of tea around 16°C. Rainfall: 150-250 cm of rainfall is required for tea cultivation. Soil: Tea shrubs require fertile mountain soil mixed with lime and iron. The soil should thick and rich in humus. Land: Tea cultivation needs well drained land. Stagnation of water is not good for tea plants. Heavy rainfall butno stagnancy of water, such mountain slopes are good for tea cultivation.
