Tea was introduced in Pakistan in mid-twenties. Earlier tea was supplied by East Pakistan which is now Bangladesh. After dismemberment in 1971, an acute shortage of tea was faced by Pakistan. Since that time, the increasing demand of tea is met by imports from a number of countries which involves a huge amount of foreign exchange. The annual consumption of tea in Pakistan is more than 90 million kgs, which costs more than US $ 200 million on its import. To meet the growing demand for tea and to save the foreign exchange, efforts were made to produce tea locally, for this purpose, tea seed was imported from Indonesia, Srilanka and China and were sown at various locations in Murree, Azad Kashmir and Hazara. The agro-ecological conditions of the Daively in Hazara were found to be suitable for tea cultivation because of low pH (6.0 - 5.5) and sandy loam characteristics of the soils. The area receives rainfall ranging from 1000 mm to 1200 mm per annum with mean minimum and maximum temperatures of -1°C and 32°C respectively. It has been reported by Kathiravetpillai and Kulasegaram (1986) that tea can best be grown on loam and sandy loam soil with pH of about 5.0. Further, Mann (1935) found that tea could be grown on sites with mean monthly minimum temperature of -5°C to 20°C and maximum of 20°C to 30°C in both for tropical and semitropical regions.
