She meticulously trained on the steps involved, starting from plucking the tender tea leaves to boiling them, hand-withering them, and drying them out in the sun. Participants were taught every step of the process to ensure the highest quality and flavour.
Participants gained invaluable knowledge and hands-on experience in tea making, honing their skills in producing both orthodox and green tea varieties during the workshop. The in-depth training, coupled with a practical approach, was warmly welcomed by the participants, who appreciated the opportunity to enhance their expertise. This training session has marked a significant stride towards elevating the quality and diversity of tea production in our region.
