Sri Lankan Tea Travelogue・・・No.5

Nuwara Eliya tea garden, tea picker Even though the weather had been sunny until now, it was drizzling early in the morning in Nuwara Eliya. Cold! The temperature is around 17-18 degrees C. The tea leaves were wet and I had trouble walking, so I asked everyone to refrain from entering the tea garden and only took pictures. The tea pickers are dressed like this because it is cold. I can't stop working in this kind of rain. It was drizzling on my face and hands, dripping down. . . . Even so, I diligently store the picked tea leaves in the plastic bag I carry on my back. Occasionally, he waves at the camera and gives me a smile. Where does this kindness come from? When you look at the place where you are picking, the tea garden is so vast that you can't stop picking. . . . "Nowadays, children who have gone to school are reading books, singing songs, and having a good time." . One by one, even the pieces of tea are picked by the fingers of the tea pickers. Where can I find such a polite drink... Every time I drink tea, the face of the tea picker comes to mind...
