tea tales
Tea picking starts early in the day and it is done only by Indian women. Tea needs a lot of rain to gorw, and if it's grown at higher altitudes, its taste becomes even better. Nuwara Eliya, which was founded by the Britishin the 19th century, is located at 1800 metres a/sl. The view are fantastic... everywhere you look you see rolling hills covered in lush green carpets of tea plants... occasionally a tiny village or a waterfall provides al ittle change of scenery, and then it's green tea again... green tea.
