The tea harvest has begun in southern China – even in cold, humid weather. The photo shows two tea farmers in Shanglin in the province of Guangxi. The region belongs to the Huanan (华南) tea region, as do Guangdong, Fujian and Hainan. There, the harvest season always starts first in the country due to the warm, subtropical climate. In general, tea plants can grow in this environment for at least ten months a year.
