NGOME SAPEKOE TEA PLANTATION
Very beautiful walk in the heart of the Zululand by the R 69 towards Louwsburg for about 618 km, then towards the right at the place-dit Vaalbank, where you take the R towards Nongoma. After 47 km turn right into the direction of the plantation. Tell the guardian that you go "to the church."
Tea has grown in the province of Natal since 1877, but because of the competition of other less costly labor (sugar cane) plantations, culture disappeared in 1949. In 1963, Sapekoe public society («Her» for South Africa - pekoe is a black tea from China) reintroduced tea, especially in the Vryheid region. Camelia sinensis is a plant with two main varieties: China, small leaves and perfume, and that of the Assam valley in India with larger leaves. In Africa, the Indian variety was planted. On the plantation, see the chapel where the Virgin appeared to a religious De.
