Female Worker in Tea Plantations of Sri Lanka - stock photo
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka - November 27, 2015: Situated at around 2000m above sea level and surrounded by lush tea plantations Nuwara Eliya is the heart of the tea industry. The climate, geography and geology of the Sri Lankan Highlands is ideal for tea cultivation but it is very labour intensive. In this Image; Tamil, Sri Lankan, female workers picking tea bush tips to make ceylon tea. When the workers bags are full with fresh picked tea bush tips they are sent to the wholesaler. The tea pickers can get an hour lunch break and a half hour tea break in the day which starts at 7.30am, an hour after dawn. It is very hard work. Some of the tea plantations are just under 7,000 feet high.
