Tea estates

Tea estates are so beautifully mesmerizing, somehow. Maybe it's about seeing the source, or those curving fields, or thinking of the pleasure of brewing tea...

P.S. It's getting easier to find high-quality "fair-trade" tea. Click here for just one example at Rishi Tea (delicious stuff).

Kat - thanks, I'd love to see these places :)

Rowena - likewise! These are definitely on the travel "to do" list (which is getting kinda long, come to think of it!)

Stacey - thanks & I LOVE tea as well, it's such a great calm ritual :)
