Plucked tea should be put in woven basket and not polythene to allow free air movement
Pluck two leaves and band only because 3-4 leaves colder leaves lower quality due to low level of caffeine
Leaves should not be compressed in the baskets as this can cause them to heat up and turn brown
Plucked tea should be kept cool and shaded while plucking continues and awaiting transportation to the factory
Plucked tea should be taken to the factory the same day it is harvested
