Another awesome One Planet People event: picking organic tea in the rolling green hills of UJI.
Did you know that all types of tea we drink come from one plant?...the type of tea differs according to how the plant is grown, the geographical location and the processing method. Picking by hand produces the tastiest tea, from the freshest leaves which haven't absorbed any metallic traces from machines.
This was a beautiful day, in the middle of nature, blessed by the generosity of the tea farmers who sent us home with fine matcha tea, home-made crackers and later, after processing, the green tea we spent hours doubled over picking ourselves.
