In Coonoor plantations fresh tea leaves are harvested every 15 days. The fresher the leaf, the better the tea! Women are paid 100 rupees per day (less than 2 £) for picking up the bush foliage. Men are not employed, cause more expensive…
I love walking in the tea plantations: the bushes make a thousand mazes. The golden rule is to remember your way in, to manage to get out. And watch out for the wild bores!!
