 Objectives
• Learners are able to design route tour map based
on their own itinerary.
• Learners are able to give sufficient information on
the way to the destination
• Learners are able to give satisfactory commentary
about the condition of the roads, attraction at the
side of the roads, and what is happening on the
way.
 On the way to the destination, a tour guide
can inform a lot of things. He can comment
on the attractions at the side of the roads, the
landmarks, the condition of the road, the
traffic jams, traffic accidents, blocked road,
roadwork, previewing the attractions or
places of interests to visit and reviewing

 On the way from Tangkuban Perahu to Sari Ater
How was the view of Tangkuban Perahu? Did you enjoy it?
Now we will continue our trip to Sari Ater. On your right and left side
you can see a beautiful tea plantation just like wide green mattress
on the flanks of the mountain. Almost everybody drinks tea, don’t
they? By the way, does anyone know when tea started to be grown in
this area and how tea is produced? Alright then let me tell you.
Before the city of Bandung was founded, in the beginning of
the 19th century, the Dutch people had already begun cultivating
the upper flanks of its surrounding ring of mountains with tea and
coffee plantations as early as 1810. More than 80 separate
plantations were in operation by 1902. Indonesia together with
other countries such as India, Japan, China and Kenya produce 85%
of the world’s tea production. Most of tea plantations in Indonesia
are now run by local government and the number of private ones is
marginal. However, around 70% of our production is exported. The
tea trade here is based mostly on green and black tea. The green tea
which is sold domestically is relatively simple to produce while the
black one which requires more intensive procedure is mostly for
export.

 Telling how to produce
tea
Look, down there on
your right some people
pick tea leaves. Let me
tell you how to produce
tea. First, the freshly
picked green leaves are
spread out to dry on
ventilated trays.
During this process, approximately 30%
moisture is extracted from the leaves,
making them soft and pliable for further
processing. The leaves are then rolled by
applying mechanical pressure to break up
the cells and extract the cell sap. After 30
minutes, the leaves, still damp from the
sap, are sieved to separate the finer leaves.
These are spread out immediately for
fermentation, while the remaining coarse
leaves are rolled for a further 30 minutes
under higher pressure. If necessary, this
process is repeated several times. A short
rolling time produces larger leaf grades,
while longer rolling breaks the leaves up
more resulting in smaller grades. During
the rolling process, the cell sap runs out
and reacts with oxygen, thus triggering the
fermentation process. At the same time, the
essential oils responsible for the aroma are
released.
After rolling, the tea is spread out Next, the tea is dried with hot air at a
