This is the back view of a servant carrying a huge load of brick tea. Each of the baskets contains four bricks of tightly packed black tea. After tea shoots have been picked and processed, they are graded by quality then packed ready to be sold. The photograph was taken on the Tibetan frontier in the Himalayan mountains.
