アッサム紅茶紀行・・・・No.1

Assam tea travelogue ... No. 1

Assam Tea Travelogue ・・・No. 1. "People who gave me tea" On February 23rd, I arrived at Newday on Air India on Saturday. The temperature is 25 degrees C and it feels very cool. (But Japan is 8 degrees C.) The next day, I flew from Delhi to Dibrugarh, Assam. Dibrugarh is on the upper right side of the map (closer to Myanmar). The temperature suddenly rose to 31 degrees Celsius. Mr. Kanak is the guide of Assam here. still single He was everyone's favorite during the last tour (2011). They are getting married next year. After lunch, we went to see the Dibrugarh tea plantation, but the first harvest of the year has not yet started. The first flush will start in about 2 weeks... It's a flat tea garden as far as the eye can see.・・・・ Ms. Shangouri, whom I met two years ago, met me at the airport in Dibuirgarh and accompanied me until I went to the Singpo village. He is a family member of the deputy head of the Singpo tribe, who was introduced in "The World History of Black Tea" (Asahi Shimbun Publishing New Book). "It's really nice of you to come~ Japanese people keep their promises." I feel like I'm back in the countryside of Shikoku. ...!
