Step Back in Time: A Glimpse into the Traditional Tea Plantation Life in India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka) during the Late 19th Century This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the late 19th century when the tea industry was flourishing in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The scene depicts a group of women, dressed in colorful saris, carefully picking tea leaves from the lush green bushes. Their focused expressions and deft movements reveal the dedication and skill required for this labor-intensive process. Tea cultivation had been introduced to India and Ceylon in the mid-19th century, and by the late 1800s, it had become a significant economic force. The demand for tea in Europe fueled the expansion of plantations, leading to the employment of large numbers of laborers, primarily women. The traditional method of tea plucking, known as the "two-leaf and a bud" method, is still visible in this photograph. The women are picking only the most tender and young leaves, ensuring the highest quality tea. The tea leaves are then carefully placed in woven baskets carried on their backs, ready to be transported to the processing factories. This photograph offers a unique insight into the daily life of tea plantation workers during this era. It also highlights the rich cultural heritage of tea production in India and Ceylon, which continues to be an essential part of their history and identity. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the human stories that lie behind the production of our daily cup of tea. The dedication, skill, and hard work of these women, who picked the tea leaves that were shipped around the world, played a crucial role in the global tea trade during the late 19th century.
