Don't let the neat rows of tea bushes in Wazuka near Kyoto dazzle you. Look at the forest cover in the background. 70% of the country is under forest cover. Yet, this is a country that has one of the highest population density per square kilometer; lots of industries and urban sprawl competing for every inch of space with agriculture. So how do they do it? Perhaps the tea bushes hold the answer. When things are done so meticulously and with so much love then almost anything is possible.

Transient Beauty
Dark clouds threaten to make the tea gardens even more green in Fikkal, Ilam in east Nepal. It was such a magical moment but beauty is transient and after a few minutes that magic was gone.
