CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

S opens: it names tea. Q says where "much of it" is grown: in large gardens.
P says what workers do "in these gardens". R takes "the leaves" to a factory, and T says what happens "there".
So the order is SQPRT.

Worth noting

QSPRT opens with "much of it", which has nothing to point to until tea is named.
