This last weekend we traveled about an hour outside of the compound to a tea farm...you would think we flew to england because this place was the cutest, most quaint place i'v ever stepped foot into! There were rolling hills (35 acres worth) of tea all around us! I wanted to steal the woman who owned it...her name is fiona, she has a british accent and was the dearest soul i've ever met! (for those that are familiar with the movie Hook...she kinda reminded me of the grandma!) anyways, she LOVES tea, and its nearly impossible to not join in on her love by the time you leave! We spent the first 45 mins or so talking about tea, how its planted, picked, sold...whats good tea, whats bad tea etc...(so if you need some tea advice, holler at me, im now quite the expert!) then we took a small walking tour of some of the grounds-saw how the tea is picked as well as traveled into a small part of their forest where we learned about which trees are used for medicinal purposes and what not! Our guide Julius was the man! (he carried a sword to ward off trespassers!) and as i would kinda tease him about certain things, he shot right back and stumped me a few times, needless to say he earned my highest respect!
(becky, anna, myself and carson!)
FIONA!!!
