I am thinking of organizing a tea tour sometime at the end of this year
[early October preferably]. Organizing it in early October will offer
the combination of extremely pleasant weather and also the chance to
taste the Autum flush teas. I envisage the tea tour to include
Darjeeling, The Dooars, Assam and Upper Assam Estates so that we can
judge for ourselves the differences in these various teas - and their
inherent strengths and weaknesses. As far as costs go, fooding and
lodging will be free, but travel will have to be paid by participant.
Depending on how many folks show interest, we can then move forward
with this.

Hey Sidman,
ambhoooo , that sounds like fun to me.
If I get a second visa for 2006 (hard to tell) I´ll definetely join
the party.
Anybody else ?

Karsten

Well I have five people [all from tea] signed up - internals. We're
looking at 10 methinks? what say Karsten? If a person like you joins
in, everybody gains.

I know I'm new around here, but I would be interested in hearing more.
If I could run some numbers through for flight costs and whatnot that
would help.

Thanks,
Dominic
