The hypothesis in this research is that there is a real influence of rainfall, rainy days, sunlight, temperature and humidity, simultaneously and in correlation on tea productivity. This research was carried out from September to December 2023 at an altitude of 910 meters above sea level, with data collection methods through field surveys with secondary data collection at related agencies. The data taken includes data on rainfall, rainy days, sunlight, temperature, humidity and tea production from 1995-1999.

Meanwhile, humidity has a significant individually on increasing tea production. The results of the regression analysis show that climate elements have a significant simultaneous effect on increasing tea production. The correlation of rainfall, rainy days, sunlight, and temperature on tea has a weak influence. Humidity has quite an influence on increasing tea productivity.
