History of Sri Lankan Black Tea・Characteristics of Black Tea U-Class~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today is a regular holiday of Dimbula on Tuesday. It was carried out from the morning until 1:00 pm due to rolling blackouts. In the midst of this, we opened the “Tea Foods Graduate School U-Class”. A few students, including students from Gunma prefecture, were absent, but most of them attended and the ceremony was held in natural light. . . . . . . . . The pioneers who made tea in Sri Lanka carved out the jungle and created tea gardens in the midst of scarcity of electricity, gas, water and food. Only about 150 years ago. More than 280,000 tons of black tea is sent out from the tea plantations, of which 12,000 tons are exported to Japan. About 60% of tea imports come from Sri Lanka. Today, I brewed 6 kinds of Sri Lankan black tea with my students and enjoyed it slowly. It was a power outage, but I feel like everyone got closer than the usual classroom because of that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The rain that should have stopped is still falling. Tea warms the body. Brew some hot tea so you don't catch a cold.
