ルンビニ茶園
ルンビニ エステートと工場は、1984 年にダヤパラ ジャヤワルダネ氏によって設立されました。スリランカ南部の山間の村パレガマにあります。この工場では、セイロン シルバー ニードルを除き、ほぼ紅茶のみを年間約 600,000 kg 生産しています。彼らは栽培者および製造者としての技術に誇りを持っており、80 人の機械オペレーターと 30 人の茶摘み職人を雇用しています。
ルンビニ茶の木はシンハラジャ熱帯雨林の境界に生えています。熱帯雨林に近いため、「テロワール」は生産されるお茶に大きな影響を与えます。空気は非常に純粋なので、酸化プロセス中にお茶の味のプロファイルを形成するのに大きく役立ちます。そして、純粋な空気と肥沃な土壌と標高が組み合わさって、私が味わった南部の最高のお茶のいくつかを生み出します。
