  • The road from Leh to Tso Moriri is accompanied for most of the journey by the Indus River, until after Mahe, which then turns into sandy plains of the wild life reserve area where Tso Moriri is. The lake is surrounded by the elevated valley of Rupshu with hills rising to 6,000m, and on its western bank sits the village of Korzok, established over 300 years ago..Tso Moriri is a High Altitude Lake (HAL) with an altitude of 4,595m and is the largest of the High Altitude Lakes in the Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region, entirely within India..*Pre-season Jeep road trip from Delhi to Amritsar, Srinagar, Kargil, Lamayuru, Leh, Khardung La, Tso Moriri and back to Delhi in May 2010.

  • Khardung La (5359m) is a High Mountain Pass in Ladakh. It is also allegedly the World's Highest Motorable Road. The 5,359 m elevation given above is from a modern GPS survey by a team of researchers and there are allegations that the 5,602m height claimed by the summit signs are grossly incorrect..*Pre-season Jeep road trip from Delhi to Amritsar, Srinagar, Kargil, Lamayuru, Leh, Khardung La, Tso Moriri and back to Delhi in May 2010.

  • 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.

  • 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.
