A Morning at the Sri Lankan Tea Estate

As dawn unfurled over the mist-cloaked hills of Nuwara Eliya, I stepped into a tea estate where the air tingled with the grassy scent of Ceylon tea leaves and the earthy tang of wet soil. Sunlight filtered through drooping tea bushes, casting silver droplets from their emerald leaves—each bead a prism that shattered the morning light. A plucker in a vibrant sarong moved between rows, her nimble fingers pinching the tender top two leaves and a bud, dropping them into a woven basket slung over her shoulder.

I cupped a handful of tea leaves, still warm from the sun, and inhaled their grassy-sweet aroma. A water buffalo ambled past, its horns draped with jasmine, while a myna bird hopped along a bamboo railing, chirping at the passing breeze. Somewhere in the distan...

Jagged rocks glisten with tidewater, their crevices home to vibrant anemones that pulse with the retreating waves. A lone gull circles overhead, its cry slicing through the mist as it dives for a silver fish, leaving a ripple that shatters the cliffs’ reflection in the surf. Sea thrift blooms in tufts of pink along the precipice, their petals trembling in the briny breeze. Below, a seal bobs in the kelp, its whiskers twitching at the scent of krill, while barnacles cling to black rocks, their ridged shells glistening like obsidian. Sunlight pierces the fog in slanted beams, gilding the edges of a lighthouse’s weathered brick—a silent sentinel counting the eons of ocean’s rhythm. As the tide recedes, the cliffs stir with life: crabs scuttle from pool to pool, their claws clicking on stone; a starfish expands its arms, absorbing the first warmth of day; and the wind...
