I toured a tea factory. When I got there, I had to wait a little bit for the tour and during that time I drank tea samples and looked at the artwork and teapot collection.
I did not like the teas very much but I kept trying them out. I finally found out that the tea I like is called Thai Chai with milk and honey added in. That is tasty.
This factory is where the workers make dry bags of tea to sell to stores. Everyone has to wear a hair net. If you have hair all over your face then you wear a beard net too. I counted three people with beard nets. All of them were men. Nobody wants hair in their tea.
On the tour the guide opens this red garage door and all of the visitors get to step inside. They keep it closed because this is where they dry out the mint plant and put it into bags for peppermint teas. The mint is so strong that if they didn’t have this big door, the mint smell would get into all of their other teas and all of them would be taken over by mint!!
Some people needed to step out of this room while we were on the tour. Mama and I stayed in! Mama liked it but I did not. My eyes drooled and my nose started to hurt.
This dress is made of bags of tea. It also had a pair of matching high heels and a purse too!
