      Would there be any Firm that would also be interested in marketing the tea grown by the small scale tea farmers of East Africa.

      Okay, let’s start by you answering these questions:

      • How large is the farm, area? How many tea trees? Number of people working in it? How many families?
      • What equipment do you use to process the tea?
      • When and how frequent are the leaves plucked?
      • What do you do in this farm?
      • What is your relationship with the owner?
      • Abardare Ranges is a large area; can you describe the altitude, the climate and the other produces in the vicinity of your farm?
      • Can you take pictures of farm, processing, and tealeaves and share them with me?

      The Farm is 2 acres.We do have about 4,000 tea bushes.In a week we could
      have an average of 5 workers.These small scale farmers sell to a
      factory that process the tea on their behalf and also the market.The
      leaves are plucked on a weekly bases.I manage the farm.I am the owner of
      the farm.we are at an altitude of approximately 7,000ft to 10,000ft
      above sea level.Other produce at this altitude are the tree tomatoes
