  • Nitu and Suki (in pink) (not their real names), stand for a portrait with their family in Jhaju village, Bikaner, Rajasthan, India on 4th October 2012. Now 18, Nitu was married off at age 10 to a boy of around the same age, but only went to live with her in-laws when she was 12, after she had finished studying up to class 6. The three sisters, aged 10, 12, and 15 were married off on the same day by their maternal grandfather while their father was hospitalized. She was abused by her young husband and in-laws so her father took her back after hearing that her husband, who works in a brick kiln, was an alcoholic and was doing drugs and crime. She had only spent a few days at her husband's house at that time. Her father (now out of the hospital) has said that she will only be allowed to return to her husband's house if he changes his ways but so far, the negotiations are still underway. Her sister, Suki, now age 20, was married off at age 12 but only went to live with her husband when she was 14. Her husband died three years after she moved in, leaving her with a daughter, now 6, and a son, now 4. She has no parents-in-laws and thus returned to her parents house after being widowed because her brother-in-law, who had become the head of the family after his brother's death, had refused to allow Suki to inherit her deceased husband's fair share of agriculture land. Although Suki's father wants her to remarry, she refuses to, hoping instead to be able to support her family through embroidery and tailoring work. The family also makes hand-loom cotton to subsidize their collective household income. Photo by Suzanne Lee for PLAN UK

He has just moved in this week and lives alone..Jon, an Irish/American, is a jeweller by profession, owns a video game manufacturing company in the USA, and used to work for the FBI. His brother is a rabbi. Jon has 4 children with his ex-wife, an Israeli. He speaks 7 languages and has recently decided to live to Bangkok. People often mistake Jon for a rabbi in Chabad Khao San because he wears a black coat and hat. However, soon after prayers, Jon changes into t-shirt and jeans, carrying his prayer clothes in a bag with him as he walks home..Photo by Suzanne Lee / For Chabad Lubavitch

  • Rajah Swaraj Banerjee tastes each batch of tea produced in Makaibari. Tea tasting is strikingly similar to what one would imagine of a teetotaler's wine tasting. Rajah and his experts taste every batch of tea as a quality control measure. Just by tasting the finished tea, which must be correctly brewed, connoisseurs can tell exactly where the error occurred in the processing stages of a faulty tea.<br />
Flavors of different types of tea are influenced by time and style of picking as well as method of processing.

  • From the drier, the tea is moved into a room where ladies, again selected for their meticulous nature, sit on the floor, sorting through the leaves by hand. They discard stray stems and twigs, and hand pick the undamaged leaves to be packed as the Muscatel Second Flush as the broken leaves are put aside for tea-bagging.
    SLee20090312-Darjeeling-Makaibari-10...JPG
  • After rolling, the tea is fired in a drier, which is a large machine that is heated by a coal fire. This stops the fermentation process and dries the tea completely.
    SLee20090312-Darjeeling-Makaibari-09...JPG
  • Rolling imparts leaf style and catalyses fermentation. Great care is given in rolling the leaves so as to ensure high percentages of the leaf grade, and not to damage the delicate leaves. Whole leaf teas fetch the higher prices as opposed to broken leaf teas, which are normally used in tea bags.
