The Most North Tea
- During my trip to Russian south I visited the most north tea plantations in the world.
- They are located in Greater Sochi area.
- To grow tea in Russia has been tried since 1878.
- But capricious bushes, which successfully were grown in Georgia refused to grow in Sochi.
- Agronomists and botanists have already pronounced their verdict that tea can’t grow north of Sukhumi.
- But just then an usual worker I.A.Koshman laid out his tea plantations.
- It was in 1905 and 5 years later he started to participate in exhibitions and fairs and develop trade.
- After the World War 2 growing tea in Russia acquires industrial scale.
- Matsesta tea plantations founded in 1947.
- Now its square is 170 hectares.
- Tea leaf harvesting occurs from May to October.
- The interval between cutting is 7-14 days.
- There are two collection methods - manual and mechanical.
- The manual method is more gentle and better quality, after it leaves grow back faster, but obviously it’s more labor-intensive process.
- In November tea bushes bloom.
- They say it’s very beautiful.
- Unfortunately I didn’t saw neither blooming nor leaf collection, as I visited the plantation in March, but even now slender rows of bright green tea bushes look amazing.
