GROWING AND PICKING TEA

home


A short tour round an Assamese tea estate in November 2001. The tea bushes grow in orderly lines, shaded by trees and intersected by dirt roads. Women pluck tea, working at a moderately leisurely pace. A notice on a tree gives directions as to how the tea should be planted and spaced. A tea manager explains the process of picking the tip and two leaves.
