Snow Disaster Hinders Tea Production In Chongqing

CHONGQING, CHINA - MARCH 14: (CHINA OUT) A 76-year-old farmer plucks fresh tea leaves at the Ersheng Tea Garden in Banan District on March 14, 2008 in Chongqing Municipality, China. About 10 percent of tree plants have been frozen to death in the recent snow disaster, which caused about 30-50 percent reduction in the tea production and delayed sales in the worst-affected provinces by 20 to 30 days.
