Dr. Ayhan Hacıoğlu and I had the pleasure of visiting Prof. Dr. Kezban Yazıcı, the recipient of the Presidential Award for Contribution to Local Development. We had a fruitful discussion on mechanization and innovative production technologies in the tea industry. It was also a great honor to receive a signed copy of her book, “Tea from A to Z,” a comprehensive reference work in its field. We sincerely thank Prof. Dr. Kezban Yazıcı for her warm hospitality and inspiring conversation. 🍃
