Tea growers here say that if they cut the tea leaves when they are still wet, they will lose 8-10% when they import them, but if they cut dry tea, they will be charged 100%, so very few people cut tea when it is still foggy. According to farmers, harvesting tea on a cloudy day is the most suitable. Photo: Huy Thu |
