Tea Research Institute

Tea research Institute is where scientists had been conducting research on world famous ‘Ceylon Tea’ from 1925. I am involved in two ongoing research projects, one on tea withering and other on extraction of proteins from refuse tea. I spent two days at TRI starting up a new membrane filtration unit.

TRI is located aptly in a tea plantation at 4,400 ft elevation. The scenery and climate are so refreshing that working there is like a vacation! I am looking into starting another project on development of a more energy efficient tea dryer.
