For a nice cup of tea

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!!
