Application, inquiry: 03-5777-3377 ～～～～～～～～ ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～ Information about next spring. Apart from the usual Isobuchi Sri Lanka tour (scheduled for July), we are planning a trip to Sri Lanka "Tea Culture and History" in March next year as part of the "Asahi Moving Class". . . .
(Information) Sri Lanka, which boasts the world's largest tea exporter, was once called Ceylon and was also famous as a coffee-growing country. There was a boy who came from the Scottish countryside in 1852 to work there. James Taylor had just turned 17 at the time. For 40 years until he died at the age of 57, he poured his entire life into tea brought from Assam, India. We would like to follow the life and dream of the tailor who was praised as "the god of tea" in this tour. We will also include a lot of fun. Shopping at a Sri Lankan market, tasting local milk tea and tea food, afternoon tea at Hill Club where Scottish pioneers had a party, tea picking at a tea garden, factory tour, tea appraisal. . Enjoy fruit and tea, curry and sweets, and enjoy food and tea. Accompanying lecturer Takeshi Isobuchi
