How the Tea is Manufactured in Factories

So, I am here after centuries months to writer another piece of article on my personal blog. I am too busy, is the reason for not updating my blog.

Not that I am building a Time machine or working with NASA on a space mission or something, but I am busy doing nothing, away from the internet world, actually the real world also.

I am in Assam, a North Eastern state of India. and to be more specific ( if you want to keep a tab on my from Google Earth) I am in Gerukhamukh, which is 460KMs away from Guwahati (a big city of Assam).

After a full week of sitting at Home ( now why I call Home here is another Big story and you have to read my about page for that), Sunday was the day we decided to visit the local Tea factory.

This article is not about How to make tea, but it’s about How tea leaves are prepared in the Factory.

On my way from Guwahati to Gherukhamukh which is about 460KMs, I saw many Tea Gardens, and Assam is the largest producer of Tea.

So the Tea leaves make their way to the factory by local worker who are paid Rs3 for plucking 1KG of tea leaves from Tea Garden.

Now here in the Factory, the tea leaves are then crushed into small particles so that they can be processed further

The tea is then kept on the floor for sometime so that the color turns Red from Green.

It is then taken further for making it even more fine, and then Big Machines separate them according to their sizes,

Which again goes to different big machines where it is separated according to the quality of the tea.

Then they are Filled in the Big Bags which are then bought by Different Companies who sell it with their Labels.

 Not all of the part of tea leaves make it to the Shiny packets of tea, that is not a mountain of tea but tea dust.

Which is then packed in these Bags and GOD knows what they do with them, I mean why do I care?

Can anyone count how many times I have used the word Tea in the article?

Ah! Why would you care?

Do you?
