The primary agricultural activity at Kealanani will be tea cultivation and processing. If other owners at Kealanani want to grow tea, it is possible the Kauai Tea Company could customize a plan for tea cultivation, assisting those owners with all aspects of the operation, including infrastructure, plant procurement, growth, harvesting, processing, packaging, marketing and sales.

Worldwide, the old-style plantation system of tea growing is fast being replaced by more equable, smaller landowner operations in which groups of plot-owning farmers cultivate their own bushes and sell plucked green leaf to commercial interests.

Kauai Tea Company will be a highly innovative project. To integrate a substantial agricultural business owned and operated by the developer into a residential development is a new concept in Hawaii. The choice of tea as an agricultural crop for this venture is more than feasible, as studies have proven that tea will thrive under local conditions. High-value specialty teas are showing tremendous market growth. And, while these teas are visually attractive and eco-friendly, most Americans who drink tea have never actually seen tea fields. Their beauty and tranquility will fit ideally into the culture of Hawaii.
