Nhasi ndiri kuzokuudza nezve yakakosha nzendo muSri Lanka, iyo Chigaro cheLipton, iyo pfungwa iyo Sir Thomas Lipton yaidzora minda yake yese yetii ndokuvatumira kune dzimwe nyika. Sri Lanka ndiyo imwe yenyika dzinotungamira mukugadzirwa uye kutengeswa kwetii yemarudzi ese.
Sezvo iwe zvechokwadi wakakwanisa kubata, aya ndiwo ma Lipton kambani masango muCeylon, chimwe chezvinhu zvakakosha tii zvigadzirwa munyika. Mimwe minda iri muIndia, Indonesia neKenya.
Iwo makosi ari mumakomo padyo neguta reHaputale, pakati penyika, uye iri hwindo rakasarudzika rekufungisisa mabani ekumaodzanyemba, epakati nekumabvazuva kweCeylon yakapihwa kukwirira kwayo padhuze nemamita 2000.
Ungasvika sei kuminda yetii uye Lipton's Seat?
Kuti usvike kuHaputale ndinokurudzira enda nechitima, kungave kubva kuguta guru reColombo kana kubva kuKandy kana Ella. Matanho enjanji eSri Lanka anoonekwa seakanaka kwazvo pasi rese. Idzo zvitima zvekare zvakagara nhaka kubva kuChirungu kukoloni, uye kunyangwe hazvo zvichitenderera nekumhanya kunonoka, ivo vanosvika kwakanyanya kukosha nzvimbo dzenyika. Mutsara unobva kuna Ella kuenda kuHaputale naKandy unopfuura nemunyika dzakasiyana. Ndinoomerera, enda kuHaputale nechitima, zvakakosha.
Kusvika kunzvimbo yekudyarwa kubva kuHaputale iri nyore pane tuku-tuk (anenge makiromita gumi uye mutengo unotaurika). Nemhando iyi yemotokari unogona kuenda ese mapoinzi eLipton pasina dambudziko. Ichave iri nyaya yekutaurirana nzira uye mutengo nemutyairi, iye achakwanisa kukumirira iwe pakushanya kwega kwega.
Iko zvakare kune sarudzo yekusvika nekutakura veruzhinji kuenda kufekitori uye kana paine shanduko kuenda kuTuk-Tuk kuita rwendo rwasara.
Mugwagwa wekukwira wakamanikana uye hauna kuchengetedzwa zvakanaka. Ini ndinofunga kuti vanhu vanoda kushanya kuminda yetii neyavo kana mota dzekuhaya vanokwanisa chete kusvika kufekitori.
Chigaro cheLipton chiri pamusoro pegomo asi nerombo rakanaka rakagadzirwa kumusoro uko. Kufamba kwakanyanya kushinga kubva kufekitori kuenda kunzvimbo yepamusoro yegomo. Ini pachangu handikurudziri kana kune zuva chairo, nekuti rwakareba rwendo.
Chii chekuita uye chii chekuona muLipton?
Mhinduro yacho iri nyore minda yetii. Zvese zvatinoona zvine chekuita netii nemadhorobha nemaguta ari mudunhu repakati vanogara zvakanyanya paiyi (nekushanya).
Ndinokukurudzira kuti utore kuzara kwezuva kamwe ipapo:
- Enda ne tuk-tuk kubva kuHaputale kusvika pamusoro pegomo, iyo Chigaro cheLipton uye utore mune inoyevedza green green uye huwandu hwevatori vemiti. Kamwe kumusoro, mamiriro ekunze uye mhute ichibvumidza, iwe unozokwanisa kuona chikamu chakakura chechitsuwa cheSri Lanka. Maonero acho akafanana necimwe chakakosha Ceylon peak, Adam's Peak, chimwe chezvinokwezva zvenyika yeIndia. Panguva ino pane zvakare diki bhawa kwaunogona pachena kuve neLipton tii uye unakirwe nemaonero.
- Ipapo ini ndaizoenda pasi kufekitori yeLipton, hafu ikoko. Ndinovimba unogona kuona inorema sei tii mashizha ayo vateresi vabata. Uye hongu, ndinotaura mune zvechikadzi nekuti vese vakadzi. Zvinoenderana nezvavakatiudza, imhaka yekuti vakadzi vane mushonga uri nani pavanotora mashizha kupfuura varume.
- Shanyira kune lipton fekitori. Chero iyo kambani yaunoenda kwauri, ivo vanozotsanangura iyo maitiro ekugadzira iyo tii pachayo, kubva pakukohwa muminda, kuburikidza neyefa yemashizha, kugadziriswa neumwe neumwe wemuchina uye pakupedzisira kutengesa uye kutengesa. Panguva dzose ivo vanoomerera kuti vashandi vane mamiriro akanaka ekushanda uye kuti zvese zvinovakirwa pakukwana uye kutarisisa kune vashandi nevatengi. Ini pachangu ndaifanira kukwira kuenda kufekitori kaviri nekuti pazuva rekutanga paive nekuramwa basa kwevashandi. Chinhu chimwe chete chekuisa mupfungwa ndechekuti haugone kutora mapikicha emukati mefekitori, ndinotenda imhaka yekuvanzika kwehunyanzvi.
- Ibva munzira yakarohwa uye edza swedera pedyo nemataundi akavakidzana, kunogara vashandi yeminda yetii. Zvinonakidza kuona mararamiro ekumaruwa evagari vemo. Makambani etiyi anovaka zvikoro uye kunyangwe zvipatara zvidiki mumataundi aya.
- Shanyira Haputale. Kunyangwe isina kunyatsonaka, ndinofunga unofanirwa kuona guta iri, rakanyanya kukosha munzvimbo iyi. Vagari vane yakawanda yekubikira, vanhu, ruzha uye mota; ehe, tii zvitoro kwese kwese.
Ini pachezvangu ndakashanyira matatu masango tii nemakambani: Lipton, Pedro Tea State uye imwe yemo. Ini ndaida kuve neakawanda maonero epasirese nekambani iri pakati nepakati uye diki. Mukambani yemo, ndakanga ndisingakwanise kushanyira fekitori, paivewo nekuramwa basa, asi ndakakwanisa kushanyira masango avo. Pedro Tea State, muNuwara Eliya zvakare anotengesa kunze kwenyika asi asiri Lipton.
Rwendo rwese kuSri Lanka runofanira kusanganisira rwendo rwechitima rwechikomo chemakomo echitsuwa ichi uye kushanyira kumunda wetii. Chigaro chaLipton muenzaniso wakanaka wekudyarwa uye nzvimbo, muchidimbu, 100% yakakurudzirwa rwendo.
