  • Hunting hobbyists are seen hunting wild boar with professional hunter Ah Kwi and his seven hunting dogs in Bukit Cerul, Kemaman, Terengganu, Malaysia. Boar hunting is encouraged by the authorities to keep the hyper-abundance of these native wild pigs in check..Wild boars are also hunted both for their meat and to mitigate any damage they may cause to crops and forests. A charging boar is considered exceptionally dangerous quarry, due to its thick hide and dense bones, making anything less than a kill shot a potentially deadly mistake.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
