Instead of locating the tea cafe? on the hilltop, the architect decided to lay the buildings hidden in the hill but outreach to take the view of plantation. 

Plan

Plan

The idea is to keep the hill top view where the building rooftop would then be a 360-degree viewpoint of the plantation. Here at the rooftop, in addition to the natural atmosphere of the plantation, the visitors can do observe the farmers? activity, tea leaves ?hand pick? harvesting during the day.
