     The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates (种植园). The best tea usually comes from plants

grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants are about one metre

apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important

because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves. It is from these shoots that the best tea

is got.

     Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers because they are

more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new shoots from the plant, which are

the parts used for processing (加工) tea. The pickers carry large baskets into which they throw their pickings.

A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be

picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days.

      Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill. There are various

methods of processing depending on the type of tea required.For black tea,the young green leaves are first

spread out shelves to dry. This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft. After this, the

leaves are passed through heavy rollers.This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both

its colour and taste.Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment (发酵) under wet conditions.

Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea.The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot-air blower

until they become rolled-up black leaves.The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready

for sale to countries all over the world.
