No.3 - A lush tea field, I never feel bored to admire the sheer beauty and hard work that goes behind them.

No.5 – Beautiful landscape, a typical tea estate scene in Upcountry!

No.6 – Me Posing in front of a Tea Sales Center!

No.7 – Tea is not planted haphazardly, they are designed in a particular manner called “contours” to prevent soil erosion and for neatness and ease harvesting.
