Tea Fields in Darjeeling, India
Today is International Women's Day, and I thought I'd share some photos of the Women of Tea that I've had the privilege of meeting in my tea travels. The tea world is built upon the contributions of strong and skilled women. These photos make me feel inspired, grateful and humbled.

I am so honored because a few of you have asked me to develop a series of notecards related to my photos of women of tea, to offer for sale. I've given that request lots of thought, and I'm very grateful for the encouragement! I've decided to approach this in a novel way. (I'm not comfortable making a personal profit off of the likenesses of these women.) However, I've got some ideas brewing...it may take me awhile, but stay tuned!

Will she grow up and decide to stay in the tea business? This is a complex question.
