Ever Wonder How Tea is Made?

While on assignment in Kenya for Vancouver-based social-enterprise JusTea, I had the opportunity to get to know Evans, a young tea plucker that we were working with. He is in his mid-twenties, and has two ADORABLE children with his wife Caroline. From plucking the leaves, to drying them, Evans teaches me how it’s all done!

Watch the video and comment below. Were you surprised at how much work goes in? Fun fact: 1 handful of green tea leaves weighs 4X less once it has been rolled/dried. And will only make a couple cups worth of tea!
