These days, if you take Provincial Highway 21 into Seshui the only tea plantations you'll see are squeezed into the breaks between the betelnut groves that cover the hills and valleys of the area. Production has not been well managed, so prices are not nearly as good as they used to be--local growers typically just sell their new leaves to nearby processors.
好山好水好茶現在若由省道 21 線轉進澀水社區，一路上滿山滿谷的檳榔樹林立，不大的紅茶園只得擠在檳榔樹的夾縫中，但由於管理不佳，紅茶價格大不如前，往往只是將茶菁賣給附近茶廠。
