Tea Fields in Rwanda

This photo shows the early morning mist that settles in the valleys of Rwanda. Tea grows very well in this fertile and moist country. Tea plants have lovely, light green leaves on top. When the tea is ready to be harvested, men and women move amongst the bushes and pick the most tender leaves by hand. The leaves are then processed and packaged, sometimes into the little tea bags you buy from the store. They're then exported to countries around the world. But this is where they get their start, in the gorgeous, misty valleys of Rwanda and other East and Central African countries.
