Medog County in China's Xizang Autonomous Region boasts a warm, humid climate and is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, making it ideal for organic tea cultivation. In the past, due to poor transportation, freshly picked tea leaves had to be carried down the mountain manually. This year, Medog County began using drones to transport tea. The drone can carry up to 50kg and cover 15km per flight, delivering over 20kg of tea leaves to the collection point 10km away in minutes.
