Tamil tea pickers
Tamil tea pickers in Sri Lanka, most of whom are descendants of indentured laborers brought from southern India by British colonizers, play a crucial role in the country's tea industry, which is a significant part of its cultural heritage and economy. The tea industry in Sri Lanka, known for producing Ceylon tea, began in the 19th century when large amounts of labor were needed for the tea plantations. Even today, tea leaves in Sri Lanka are plucked by hand to ensure that only the tender leaves are selected, a labor-intensive task that has been historically undertaken by the Tamil workforce.
The cultural significance of Tamil tea pickers is deeply intertwined with the history of Ceylon tea itself. The tea industry was established during British colonial rule, and the Tamil workers have been a backbone of this industry since its inception. The tea they pick is renowned worldwide for its quality and contributes significantly to Sri Lanka's economy. In 2022, the industry generated £1.079 billion in exports despite facing a 26-year low in production due to an economic crisis.
However, the Tamil tea pickers have faced numerous challenges, including poverty, poor living conditions, and a lack of alternative employment opportunities. Many still live in the tiny homes built by the British, with some lacking basic amenities like running water or toilets[1]. Despite the global reputation of Ceylon tea and the wealth it generates, the Tamil tea pickers remain among the most disadvantaged segments of Sri Lankan society.
The tea industry's reliance on Tamil labor and the unique hand-plucking method contribute to the cultural significance of Ceylon tea. The Tamil tea pickers' contribution is not only economic but also a preservation of a traditional way of life that has been passed down through generations, despite the hardships they endure.
