Sri Lankan Tea Travel No.5
On the way back to Colombo, we left Bandarawela early in the morning.
Dunbatten built by Thomas Lipton in 1890
We visited a tea factory (Uva).
When you enter the factory, you can smell the faint scent of mint.
The factory manager is a little early, but the seasonal wind has already started to blow.
"Pangency's tea is starting to be made," he said.
It's been a long time since I heard the word "Pangency".
Pungency (an appraisal term for black tea, pleasant and stimulating astringency,
Used during Uva's quality season)
~~~~~~
Although there is little rain, the tea leaves are growing well and the production volume is secured.
That's what I'm talking about.
It seems that it will be a season tea in about a week. . .
