When I think 'tea' I think of the drink I've had from I was a child growing up in Jamaica...(I only got to like coffee after migrating to the United States). But there is still nothing like a cup of tea...any kind..Chamomile, Mint, Green, and yes, brands such as Lipton, Tetley, and now Assam, which I was personally able to try, and bring back home, from my trip to India this past summer. Heck, tea and I have a relationship! We have history!
So when my husband and I, a couple evenings ago tuned in to the BBC News' report on the appalling conditions of workers on tea estates in India, to say I was shocked would be an understatement. My goodness, on my day trip to Tamil Nadu, my friends Riyas and Yasir stopped for pictures so my colleagues and I could see and touch tea plants! The weather was divine, balmy 60s farenheit, sunny, and just enjoyable. We saw ladies at work picking tea leaves.
