Ella is surrounded by mountains, like a secluded mountain village. Houses built on mountains, sparsely arranged on the only road here mm A23 national road sides. There is no hustle and bustle of big cities and noisy, there is no plain dirty the temperature of air and heat. where the sky is blue, water is so clear, the air is so fresh, life is so quiet and calm. Ella's beauty is not how the magnificent scenery of her, she is more like a living in the purdah's Xiaojiabiyu, pure and beautiful and slightly shy, wait for others to discover. Ella is our trip to the Lanka favorite place.
Ella, Here we come!
balcony and enjoy the scenery for a while and I LP decided to go around and hand them into the scenery. Lankan tea as prestigious, and Ella Uva Province, where the undulating terrain, abundant rainfall, it is Lanka's most famous tea town, we are looking for a a visit to the tea plantation. proprietress said, some tea plantation far, the best to take a Tuk Tuk, we obtain the consent of her deft pick up the phone, and soon parked in front of a Tuk Tuk.
Tuk Tuk opened along the highway while, on a slope inclined at a tea garden in turn open a few turns, in the eyes of a tea plantation. Chachang small, only when we went to a workshop at work. tea plantation workers arranged for a visit and took us to the introduce me to do, of course, the visit fee of Rs 200 is indispensable. Lankan tea production is 95% black, less than 5% of green tea, herbal tea and other varieties. Chachang close to shoots every day, it will the shoots in a long trough tile box, with a hair dryer to dry the water. Each box can hold about 50 kilograms of tea a day can be blown about 75% of the water removed. Since a large number of dispersed water shoots, and its elasticity, hardness, weight and volume will be substantially reduced. and then ground and speed mixing to promote the fermentation of tea. In this process, proteins into amino acids, can make the tea to become mellow; destruction of chlorophyll is broken down, the color turns to gray tea . Finally, according to the size of tea, the color filter, divided into 6 categories. on a good level BOP all transported to the Colombo tea packaging, auction and exported, so we try not to buy not only tea plantation in the production of tea. native of Sri Lanka are generally mid-range drink-level or even the worst of the dust BOPf level. At present the production of tea, full mechanization of the basic realization that only when the need for screening in the last few manual checks, so we did not see the entire tea plantation several silhouette .

staff led us to visit, although there was empty, but the devices are in the running
Ella even all over the central mountain Lanka's tea plantations and tea with this woman
Tuk Tuk drivers to see our slight disappointment, they say that it, or have a small amount of tea to flow out from the tea plantation, you can buy in the market. the way back he stopped at a roadside stall, This marked a BOP grade tea sold, but the packaging is very rough, is to use a simple plastic bag a little, sell 80 rupees. I'm not sure, and LP is not really, but with prices so cheap to buy a bag with came back try. I do not know the LP is not now open packages. In Colombo airport, about one-tenth of a box of tea bags sold for 500 rupees which shows the flow of the process of how tea profits.

Tuk Tuk drivers strongly recommended we visit a local temple is quite famous, we have never been on the cultural landscape are not interested, the whole sky is too early to agree to go. opened about 20 minutes to the temple, just before the door to see a few tourists from Europe and America, refers to the LP drivers to see, to prove he was not ���� us cute ha. slippers before entering the temple drag socks, quiet and pollution-free interference Buddhist heartland. If this standard, China's Pure Land temple also find a trace of it? temple something impressive, just some mottled and described the statue of the Buddha Buddha murals merit group life, see a lot are re-painted murals, estimated that the possession of the temple casually a heritage value moderately higher than here. but we cute drivers seem quite proud of the temple, has been constantly presented to us from time to time asking rupees, the temple hosted accept thanks, socks, shoes cover the return ride.
back to hotel take a break, hanging out of my LP. passing a post office, LP Ella went there to ask the local postcards for sale, be the post office staff is very strange reaction. maybe Ella is too small, small, not even the postcards are printed on. we walk into a shop and experience the local specialties, curd & honey. curd like a child at home is made from the milk fermented yogurt, milk, water here is done, do not think it tastes sour. the honey into the yogurt, milk and honey to be fully integrated, and taste very sweet. eating eating a white female tourist passing through, it is curious that We eat ice cream, milk and after that the water did not dare try to quickly shook his head. shop opened a grandmother, when did we get from China when they praised the Chinese girls pretty long, and made LP elated, eating curd & honey edge hum ditty.

all written on her face walking down the street in Ella, we were always attracted many curious eyes, when we look collide, the resulting are shy smile. the kind of smile is genuine, without a trace of impurity, with no affectation. I have to admit, a smile is contagious. In Ella few days, we will be ready for his smile, at any time donate back to the people who grant me smile. This simple but noble person to person communication between the mind, that living in the utilitarianism of our society, people have fortified the mind infinite and can never feel degraded. We were brought up Education occasionally used. the lower the natural frequency of use will lead to a decline in ability to smile, and it was the sorrow of a nation! in our society, more often, a smile has become a means of making a profit, so those jobs, hypocritical , shed, He is tightlipped smile destruction, so that students dislike people. personal taste Lanka and participate in clean smile is our greatest achievement in this line.
back to hotel, it was late. on We are determined to eat well ahead of the third floor of the traditional Sri Lankan dinner. the first person on the salty bowl of carrot cream soup, small bowl and then a bunch of small dishes of vegetables, I felt like Korean food, filled the whole table, really rich Kazakhstan. Lankan food is heavy, is not that salty, spicy, very well with rice. to a bottle of local beer Lanka mm Lion Lager, I, and LP Gongchoujiaocuo. swayed gently flickering candle, LP began a little drunk, ruddy face getting thrown. we finally raised his glass, drank the remaining beer. Happy New Year! our rich Chinese New Year dinner, of course, the local gift Hing
