As a comprehensive study

They came to try their hand at tea picking.

Tea picking experience for elementary school students

It is not a natural tea garden where the tea is usually picked by hand,

Machine-harvested tea fields are hand-picked with "one stem and two leaves"

They had the opportunity to try it out.

Touching the tender buds,

I was happy to see that they enjoyed themselves.
