Due to a kind of existential crisis, an English teapot decides to start looking for her roots. She thus leaves for the tea plantations of Munnar in the south of India. She is struck by the breathtakingly beautiful landscape of some 13.000 hectares of plantations.
Despite the strong historical ties with the English market, Munnar teas are being traded throughout the entire world. The exact number of tea pickers is unknown, but they form the backbone of the regional tea production. Their working conditions are characterized by low salaries, long days and a lack of basic facilities on the plantations. This poses a complex problem with deep roots in the colonial past and the current economic reality of the tea industry.
