Visit to Colombo Tea Auction
Thirty four students from Wayamba University of Sri Lanka who specialize plantation management visited Colombo tea auction on 16th June 2015 accompanied by an academic staff member, Dr Bandara Gajanayake. The journey was started around 7.00 am from the faculty (Makandura) and reached Colombo around 9.00 am. After having breakfast from a small hotel next to Bere lake the group walked to the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) <http://www.chamber.lk/> premises where tea auction holds on every Tuesdays and Thursdays. The premises is located next to Bere lake along Nawam Mawatha, Colombo 00200.
We noticed that the Colombo’s first tea auction was held in year 1883 and currently it is one of the largest and fastest tea auctions in the world.
