Slideshow
Low latitude
Close to the equator means warm and humid climate giving tea plants the steady conditions they need to grow well all year.
High altitude
1100m elevation in cooler mountain air slows the tea plant's growth, giving it more time to develop rich flavor and nutrients.
Natural cloud shading
Soft, filtered sunlight through near-constant cloud cover lets tea plants grow gently, without the stress of harsh direct sun.
