The sorting of Green Tea is a nicer operation, and takes twice as long as sorting Black Tea.
If there are pans enough, and the work is well arranged, there should be no night-work with Green Tea, for all should be over by 5 P.M.; whereas with Black Tea night-work is generally a necessity.
The price obtained for Green Tea is more dependent on its appearance than in the case of Black.
It is not easy to make Black and Green Tea in the same factory.
Green Tea, if well made, pays much better than Black Tea; and, as before observed, I think all gardens with Chinese plants should adopt the manufacture.[50] When once the building is fitted for it, and the routine established, the Green Tea manufacture is always preferred by those who have tried both.
The Hybrid plant makes the best Black, the Chinese the best Green Tea.
