From my 2011 post...
"So I will begin with what is most vivid in my mind, and that is the lives of the people who work the tea fields. The photo above is among my favorites. Notice the dirt under her fingernail, the pretty silver band she wears, the lines in her hand, the vibrancy of the green leaf. It's all there - the hard work, the beauty in it, the struggle, the love, the tea that sustains this community. It was a privilege to be taken to these fields and see, for a brief moment, how these people connect with me. They pick the teas that I drink. That I will never, ever forget."

Yes, we must honor those women that pick our tea.
