Question
Why is tea grown on hill slopes$?$

Answer

The tea plant requires about $200\ cm$ of rainfall between $21^\circ C$ to $32^\circ C$ temperature and sloping soil.
  • A long rainy season with periodic heavy showers is favourable for this crop.
  • Since water-Iogging would destroy the roots of a tea plant it is planted on hill slopes so that excess water is drained away.
