Nobody panic - I doubt any of the tea I so skilfully picked here ended up in your teapot 😂. While great fun for me for an hour or so, the staff at these plantations spend all day, every day in the heat picking the leaves. They get paid between 500-1000 Sri Lanka rupees a day which is $2.80-$5.60 / day USD. Most the the staff are woman who need this to support a family as well as themselves. Sri Lankan living is much lower than ours, but this is still a little shocking considering the price of tea worldwide compared to what staff on the ground get...
