    The Bayram tea harvest is always a mix of exhaustion and joy, and this year was no different. Despite the late arrival of the tea due to cold, rainy weather, we were rewarded with a flavorful and high-quality harvest. Hand-picking, which has become more widespread each year, adds value both to the tea and the growers. This year, we produced more green and black tea than expected, and our plans for the future are focused on increasing hand-picked tea across Rize.
