Russian and Ghanaian students worked for one-day as tea-pickers at a suburban tea plantation in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province on April 7.
The students, who are studying at local Jiangsu University, got hands-on practice at differentiating tea species, picking early spring tea leaves, stir-drying and processing teacakes, and last but not least, taking a sip of their hand-made teas.
