Abstract
SUMMARY: Research and observations on how climate effects the growth and yield of the tea plant are reviewed. Despite differences in the types of tea grown and the cultural techniques practiced in the different tea areas, an attempt is made to define quantitatively the climatic conditions needed to maintain growth rates at a high level. The need for critical work in the future is emphasized.Keywords
