bioslim herbal tea
There is a sad lack of urgency displayed by the owner of this estate to educate pickers about a better living standard. Back on the bus and five minutes up the road, we arrive at out destination, the Idulgashinna Biodynamic Tea Plantation in Haldemulla in the Uva district. The joyous welcome we receive is overwhelming. Unaccustomed to such warmth from strangers, my American tea colleague and I almost run back to the bus. After the customary pottu facial adornment and presentation of floral garlands, we learn about benefits drinking green tea garden's biodynamic practices. The garden tour is short but dense with information.
Anyone involved in the tea world should visit a producing origin at least once to understand how tea workers live and what they do for 75 cents a day or less. To realize that these people smile more often than we do is truly enlightening. When it comes to tea drinking, the United States is centuries behind the rest of the world. Perhaps our addictive love of and strong economic ties to the drinking and production of coffee has distracted us from the subtler benefits of tea. Or maybe we just rebelled against what the British were drinking (our most historic act involving tea, you remember, was benefits drinking green tea time we dumped loads of it in the Boston Harbor). Whatever the reason for our past disinterest in tea, Americans are now making up for lost time.
But this trip humbles me benefits drinking green tea time I think I am doing my part to help and realize that more can always be done.
