Abstract
TEA is cultivated between latitudes 45° north and 35° south, and at or near the equator it produces almost the same yield every month. But farther from the equator the winter harvest gradually declines and at latitudes beyond about 16° there is almost complete winter dormancy which lasts longer with increasing latitudes.
