A trip through Sri Lanka makes it hard to look at tea and cinnamon as ordinary groceries. You see the farms, meet the people, and start following the journey those products take beyond the island.
Grace Sharkey and I talk about what I noticed during my visit, including the Port of Colombo and Sri Lanka’s place in Indian Ocean trade. We also discuss the work behind artisanal tea and the hospitality that made this trip feel so personal. This is the Sri Lanka conversation from our July Freight Friends episode.
In this segment:
▪ Tea farming and the people behind the finished product
▪ Cinnamon and Sri Lanka’s trading history
▪ Colombo, Indian Ocean shipping and observations from the trip
