Tea Research Center

Together with class eight at Resam academy I went on an excursion to the Tea Research Center in Kericho. They are doing research and experiments on all kind of issues related to tea production. We visited the weather recording center where they explained why Kericho district has a very favourable climate for tea-production. The altitude, the rainfall, the temperature and the soil are very benecficial. W also got an introduction to different deseases they have to deal with and looked at ill tea-plants through a microscope. In the laboratory we saw how they experiment with different types of plants.

Off course we were invited for a delicious cup of Kenyan chai after the presentations.
