Behind the cup of tea!


Every time we have our cup of tea, it is good to feel grateful for those who pluck and process the leaves.

During our recent visit to a tea garden, we noticed that these women do not carry the bags on their back while picking. Instead they rest the bag on the bush itself! A novel and practical way! They lessen their burden in a creative way!

It is a delight to watch how their hands move artistically and delicately!

They work for about one hundred days in a year and live rest of the year on what they earn! Their struggles are too many to believe!
