    TECHNICAL PAPER 2 - REPLANTING / INFILLING / HARVESTING / YPH / WEED MANAGEMENT / PEOPLE

    Dyan Seneviratne (2017)

    This Paper is in backdrop of a majority of RPCs balking at prospect of planning and sustaining a well coordinated Infilling and Re-Planting Program due to [faulty] perception that the ROI on Replanting does not warrant Re-planting! A simple logical response would be that if Re-planting [and indeed Infilling] is discontinued or done haphazardly Read More

  • RICHARD SIMON’S BOOK A COMPULSIVE PAGE TURNER TILL THE END

    RICHARD SIMON’S BOOK A COMPULSIVE PAGE TURNER TILL THE END

    Steve Morrell (2017)

    He gave it the title ‘Ceylon Tea the Trade That Made a Nation’. Within its pages the comment ‘This may not be a scholarly literary work’ was perhaps an afterthought. Whatever Richard says about himself and his work, perspective content of the metamorphosis of the plantations and an irresistible enactment of the, as he says, ‘rough and tumble’ of that evolution is succinctly captured in its pages.

  • AN INVIGORATING DRAUGHT - BOOK REVIEW BY MICHAEL ROBERTS

    AN INVIGORATING DRAUGHT - BOOK REVIEW BY MICHAEL ROBERTS

    Michael Roberts (2017)

    Ceylon Tea is a must-read, must-absorb work of art. Its review of the history of tea in Sri Lanka is set in deep context – context historical, context political and context social. As such, it is a tour de force. Presented in simple yet arresting prose with a commendable economy of words, Ceylon Tea illuminates many aspects of life in British Ceylon as well as Sihalee and Sri Lanka past and present.

  • Tea and Intrigue; it’s all here – Book review by Royston Ellis

    Tea and Intrigue; it’s all here – Book review by Royston Ellis

    Royston Ellis (2017)

    This 254-page book about the history of Ceylon tea was sent to me as an email attachment to download and read on a screen, in the fashion of those who use devices to read, instead of being able to hold the actual book in one’s hand. The disadvantage of this screen version of the book, certainly for a reviewer Read More

  • TECHNICAL PAPER 3 - PLUCKING / HARVESTING OF TEA

    TECHNICAL PAPER 3 - PLUCKING / HARVESTING OF TEA

    Dyan Seneviratne (2017)

    Plucking, Picking or Harvesting are all synonyms with tea harvesting as the marketable product of tea is manufactured from young or tender tea shoots which are picked at specific intervals depending on the rate of growth which also differs due to weather, temperature, elevation etc. The policies germane to harvesting of tea involve Read More

  • TECHNICAL PAPER 4 – NURSERY MANAGEMENT

    TECHNICAL PAPER 4 – NURSERY MANAGEMENT

    Dyan Seneviratne (2017)

    Nursery infrastructure and management practices: The objective of Tea Nursery Management is to raise healthy, vibrant plants of uniform size of the appropriate cultivars [clones] with minimum casualties, properly trained and adequately hardened within a reasonably short time, eminently suitable for planting in the field.

  • ‘A true plants man’: Larry Schokman, who nurtured a leafy gem of Miami, dies at 82

    ‘A true plants man’: Larry Schokman, who nurtured a leafy gem of Miami, dies at 82

    Elizabeth Koh (2017)

    To the end, Larry Schokman’s life revolved around the plants. For more than three decades, the horticulturalist and former tea planter brimmed with love for all green things and how to care for them. Read More

  • THE WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE PLANTATION CONNECTION

    THE WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE PLANTATION CONNECTION

    Anura Gunasekera (2016)

    The first, and only unbeaten Wimbledon Singles Champion in its 136-year history was a coffee planter from Sri Lanka, then Ceylon. Whilst the achievement itself has now been reduced to an obscure statistic, covered with the dust of history and totally overshadowed by more spectacular Wimbledon performances since the circumstances in which Read More
