Mozambican company exports more than 100 tons of tea to China

The company Magoma tea,in Zambezia province,this year exported to China more than 100 tons of a variety of tea called "Orthodox,"(“Ortodoxa”)said a company official speaking to Radio Mozambique.

Valdemiro Varinde said this variety of exported tea is very nourishing and aromatic,allowing the company which is based in Gurué district,the center of tea production in the country,to get foreign currency necessary for the pursuit of its business.

This variety of tea has recently been introduced at the request of the market,after 45 years of dropout due to high production costs,since each bush leaves are harvested only from the top,while in other varieties can be harvested leaves of the intermediate zone.
