Green Tea Farming

Tea is grown in the mountains and especially the high areas which have low misty clouds.

Panorama of a typical valley, very steep slopes.

Wheat grows well in tea areas but is not as valuable a crop at tea so gets the back sides (northern slopes) of the mountains with less sun.

These are all small individual plots.  Farmers below in the clustered housing have a long commute to work.
