Map showing Mufindi and Kilombero River in the Tanganyika now Tanzania, Africa, tea growing region. The grain is grown in clearings in the rain-forest belt. Village. Shots of rainforest. Men working preparing for planting. Seeds being watered in small beds where they are kept covered until germination. Seedlings are then transplanted into the clearings during the rains. Rain seen running off a corrugated roofed house. Working to plant seedlings. The tea plantations on embankments. Close up of workers plucking leaves from bushes into small baskets. These are then emptied into larger baskets which are carried on the head or by yokes to the factory where they are then weighed. The leaves are then rolled and graded by machine, covered and fermented, baked and chopped. The finished product is packed into small bags and boxed into tea chests labelled KTC Mufindi.
