Cultivation, laborious, trimmed, bushy, buds, plucked, rolled over, wet, high temperature, powdered. Tinku with her family has gone to visit a tea garden in Srimongal. The manager of the garden describes how tea is processed.
Dialogue:
Manager: Well, you know the cultivation of tea is laborious. The seeds of tea are first sown in a nursery. Plants come out in a few days. Then these plants are transplanted in rows in a big area. The plants are not allowed to grow very high.
They are trimmed properly so that they become bushy. The new leaves and buds are plucked three to four times a year. Now, after plucking, the leaves are dried in the sun, and brought to the mills. The dried leaves are rolled over with machines.
After the leaves are totally dry, they are kept on the floor of a slightly wet room. I’ll take you to that room in a minute. Well, now when the colour of the leaves turns copper, they are taken to a room of high temperature. This makes the leaves black.
Then it is powdered by another machine. In this way tea is produced for use. Next they are properly packed and marketed. Ok, let us move now. I’ll show you everything around here.
