Blue Mountains. Green tea intersst

People in the Blue Mountains and further afield have expressed interest in farming green tea, said John Robb, owner, of Paradise Plants, a commercial nursery on the Central Coast, where two Japanese have a five-hectare plantation, near Gosford. They export to Japan. Green tea consumption in Australia has tripled in the past five years. “Depending on the age of the plant, gross income is between $6000 and $12,000 a hectare,” said Will Leckey, president, of the Australian Green Tea Growers Association, in The Australian Financial Review.
