It seems as if tea is grown everywhere in the central hilly region of Sri Lanka. Tea growing takes place on three elevation levels: high-grown at 4,000 - 6,000 feet, medium-grown at 2,000 - 4,000 feet, and low-grown at 2,000 feet and lower.
A tea plucker is expected to pluck 18 kilos of tea per day but we were told that they always pick more than that. They are paid daily and they are paid extra if they pick more than 18 kilos.
