Banking on Tea
Or how the word Ceylon was immortalised
A serendipitous twist turned a disastrous blight of coffee rust, which swept through the islands coffee estates in the 1870s, into a tea bonanza: the pretty but unassuming little bush became Sri Lankas chief export and immortalised the word Ceylon. A few tea plants brought from China took very well to the cool, crisp highland climate of the Looloocondrie Estate near Kandy. The islands planters were much relieved to find that tea plants love the same climate that coffee does and that tea has just as enthusiastic a following all around the world.
Converting a green leaf into a tasty brown beverage is a quite a story in inorganic chemistry. Yet it is an everyday event in the slab-sided white or aluminium-painted tea factories that dot the flowing hills. These are slatted with louvres to hasten the drying process. Within them the three steps of withering, grinding and fermenting, convert the fresh leaves to a moist, black mass which is then heated in a stove to reduce to two percent all the moisture originally contained in the leaf.
Once broken into flakes, tea is graded into names based on the size of the flake. These names have the kind of arcane character often emanating from professionals when talking to each other. In the case of tea, the size categories are pekoe, orange pekoe, broken orange pekoe, broken orange pekoe fannings, and dustthe latter a low quality, inexpensive tea that finds its way into many of the worlds teabags.
The graded teas are auctioned and exported, with the buyers relying on the expertise of their own tasters to guide them. The subtle variants of flavour in the vocabulary of tea are reminiscent of the argot wine-tasters use. Expert tasters classify tea into categories such as malty, pointy, bakey, thick, coppery, dull, and bright according to strength, flavour and colour.
The hill country where the best teas are grown is perhaps the most scenic part of Sri Lanka. Miles of lush green foliage and forest undulate across the hills and pickers move among the rows like vividly coloured butterflies.
