This work concerns tea making and the people who dedicate their lives to small tea shops. These tea shops are the lifeblood of the village: representing people with a strong love for tea and the individuals who are the real backbone behind the making of tea.
This work is being titled "A Tea Maker's Story."The main focus is on rural tea shops in Sri Lanka, but there are also a few small tea shops in Colombo city. A fact worth noting is that women are, more often than not, the owners of the tea shops. During this project, I photographed just one tea shop owned by a man.
