Many parts of the highlands of Sri Lanka are covered in tea plantations. All of the tea is picked by hand and processed in a method that is not much changed in the last 100 years. I visited on of the working plantations and stayed in a hotel that used to be a tea factory in the early 20th century. One of the souvenirs that I bought was a kilo brick of loose-leaf dried tea. The tea was wrapped in foil packs of 100grams, then all plastic-wrapped together an covered in brown craft paper. I couldn’t help but think as I packed for the airport that the whole thing looked pretty suspicious but my bag arrived apparently unsearched. By the way, if you are interested in a fix, I can hook you up as soon as I split it up into dime bags.
