勇敢去飛 Dream Big Be Brave

斯里蘭卡工作模式的第二天，我們去到了原始有著野生動物的叢林開發而成的肉桂農友家去拜訪，山間小路，車子無法進，只好下車用步行的去到農友家。

斯里蘭卡的肉桂又稱為錫蘭肉桂，也稱為真肉桂，因為它的香氣和外觀與東南亞的肉桂並不同。錫蘭肉桂是易碎，所以它的成型是片片層疊捲製而成，然後帶著香味和天然的甜味；而東南亞的肉桂則是入口後，舌會有灼熱及苦味。

肉桂全然是手工製成，從砍收，刨皮到捲製，片片要精心，要小心；因為一個不小心，刨皮過厚，那就不成肉桂了。因為一枝肉桂只有樹皮下的那層薄皮可以來做成我們在吃的肉桂捲，所以農友們升火煮飯就是用剩下的肉桂枝來再利用，一切不浪費。農友們也因為PODIE進入他們的生活，因為公平貿易，有了合理的收購價，生活有了改善，在過去的十年間，收入可以增加150%。

每次看著農友們手工而製的肉桂，真的覺得，肉桂價格不低是有原因的，因為它真的只能是手工。每看一次，更增加了一次感恩的心。

Work mode day 2 at Sri Lanka, we went to visit a cinnamon farmer group where used to be a natural jungle with wild animals. Still, the road is too small for a big car to pass through, so got there by foot.

Ceylon cinnamon is alos known as true cinnamon, is different than cinnamon from south-east Asia, where is called casia. The taste of ceylone cinnamone is sweet and the look is a layer roll, instead of one simple roll like casia. Plus, Ceylon cinnamon is easy to break.

Watched farmers how the cinnamon roll is made just had one thankful thought, because it was really not an easy job to do. Every step is pure labor, no machine, and every process requires patience and careful. And because of PODIE, fair trade implement, farmers get their life better than 10 years before, 150% more.
