“In dreams, we enter a world that's entirely our own.”― J.K. Rowling
“I Believe
Can help me ENTER MINE.”―
I believe : Some Dreams are born with you ….
While some just grow upon you ….
My Dream
Has been GROWING
Biggerand
LouderSince October 2009
Let me tell you How
Can culture change make you realize your dream?
Answer: YES
How????????
I left India in the year 2004 and moved to Bangkok , Thailand
Then?
Since the Indian , Masala Chai was not available anywhere , no option left , I started drinking the “Angrezi” Tea like , Green Tea,
Black Tea , Mint Tea n blah blah blah ….
HATED THEM ! But had no other OPTION
And then came October 2009 ,
My graduation gift from my parents : A trip To Sri Lanka
The place where my passion towards TEA was born !!
The two days I spent at the Sri Lanka Ceylon Tea Estates are Unforgettable
The tea plantations were simply: Mesmerizing , Breathtaking and had the ability to change the chemical ingredients in my body .
What I felt in those two days , no other place has ever made me feel that way …
The tea plantations spoke to me …A language never heard ….Something about them was Purely Magnetic !
Being a BBA Student , I had never imagined that I would ever be interested in the processing of absolutely anything …….
But at Sri Lanka Ceylon Tea Processing Factory I surprised myself
Some memories from the plant…..
In no Time ,
The non milk Tea became a part of my everyday life
And before I realized I was in love with TEA….just plain Simple Tea..in its any possible form and flavor….
After 8 years ….I proudly call myself
“ A Tea Adventurer”
Apple Tea
Lavender Tea
Coconut Tea
My FORTE:
GINGER MINT TEA
I loudly Scream that The Ginger Mint Tea I make , No one CAN !!!!!!!!!!
So, What’s my Dream??
I want to feel that way all over again …..
Now, that I have got a chance to be in India for atleast two years andIndia being the home ground from some of the exceptionally beautiful tea plantations,
I want to visit and study the five most beautifulTea plantations of India
Happy Valley Tea Estate - Darjeeling
Guwahati, Brahmaputra Valley-Assam
North :
The Five Tea Plantations I dream to visit are
South:
Tata Tea Estates & India’s First tea Museum - Munnar
Largest Tea Growing District in South – Nilgiri Mountains
Priyadarshini Tea Estate–Wayanad, Kerela
My cup of Tea is my petrol kick start for the entire day ……
I am way too passionate to learn everything about my fascination
Simple things in life bring me the biggest pleasures , and one of those simple things is my Passion towards TEA.
Sometimes , in life , the things which form our habits;Habits without which we feel our day is empty Are ignored…A cup of Tea is that part of my day , which holds the strength to either make it or break it …..And I don’t want to ignore it …Now that I have got a chance to actually relive the moments I experienced in Sri Lanka and learn everything related to Tea Plantations and Processes .
I Really Really
Really Don’t want to miss it !!!
