Thai Tea Takes Off

I've just completed an interesting assignment for an inflight magazine – writing a story about Thai tea culture. As a photographer, my favourite subject is nature, so I was only too happy to take on the task.

I was even happier when perplexity.ai provided all the background I needed about the tea-making process as well as a short list of tea plantations in North Thailand that are accessible and welcoming. 

I set off on my travels and was delighted to find that all the plantations I visited have won prestigious international awards in recent years for new varieties of tea.

The story will appear in September, but in the meantime, here's a sneak preview of images from my research trip.
