Here is another photo relating to Darjeeling Tea – a tea worker standing with his spade in hand clearing out the unwanted growth and also planting new tea bushes at a Darjeeling Tea Estate, Phoobsering Tea Estate to be precise.
I took this with my manual slr. I know the manual doesn’t have the facilities like the digitals, but have always loved its result. I believe it puts more life to the photo!
Enjoy the photo!

Here is a photo of a Darjeeling Tea garden worker at Arya Tea Estate. Arya Tea Estate is one of the most well renowned tea estates of Darjeeling producing pure and 100% organic Darjeeling Teas. Its line of jewels – Ruby, Topaz, Emerald and Diamond are worth trying which instigates a feeling of what a real Darjeeling Tea tastes like.
The photo above was taken sometime back when I visited Arya Tea Estate. A Darjeeling Tea garden itself can be seen as a huge entity with hundreds of employees each bearing a specific designation highest being the Superintendent who is responsible for looking after more than one tea garden, but in case of a single tea garden ownership, manager holds the highest position in the plantation. Likewise, there are various designations and the photo above is of a “Munsi” – A munsi is responsible for all the tea plucking inspection. Most of the munsi’s are males and his work is going out to the fields along with the women tea pluckers and inspect and direct proper tea pluckings in the area where the plucking is being done. He has to have a thorough knowledge which comes with experience and time. This particular munsi has been working at Arya Tea Estate for decades.
Hope you enjoy the photo!
I have hoisted my Indian Flag at home, though amongst mist and fog, is fluttering its freedom with all its might trying to break away the the remnants of social evil that still exists. Hopefully someday we all will truly know the value of Gandhi’s “Satyagraha” and walk towards a more beautiful India.
All the students from respective schools in Darjeeling have gone down to Lebong to do their individual drills. All could be seen clad in different ethnic dresses and filled with colors in a vibrant mood. Let everything roll in a perfect manner and hoping for a better India in the years to come.
Let there be no discrimination, no racism and no hatred. Let love prevail! I drink my cup of morning Darjeeling Tea and salute to all the freedom fighters who really made a difference.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Women tea pluckers in Darjeeling taking a breat for food and water during their tea plucking rounds. During this little breaks, they open their little food bags and share the food with each other, gossipping and keeping themselves happy. Its a great feeling to see them – how happy they are in their own world of everyday tea life.
Thanks to all the Darjeeling tea garden workers who make it possible for us to brew our favorite Darjeeling Teas
