I am guessing it is still harvested by hand?
Here in the UK of course people love their tea, and I am partial to a cuppa especially with a biscuit!
Assam is pretty famous here, thanks for posting your walk and I can feel the chilled vibes from it.
Have you ever plucked?
As far as I know and seen here, mostly harvested by hand. Mostly women from tea tribes are involved and they are very good at their work. This helps to maintain the malty flavour of tea unlike the machine harvested tea that results in broken leaves.
Glad to know that this small north-eastern part of India is famous in UK. Feeling overwhelmed!
Yes! I did actually pluck but many years back, when I was in middle school. As we have a tea garden of our own, during the end of the plucking season where workers take a break, the price of tea per kg increases. I remember I plucked some tea leaves and sold them to an agent who delivers it to the companies. God! You took me to a flashback of my childhood days.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and visiting my blog.
