Chaa is an evocative tribute to the unsung heroes of India’s tea industry, in the form of a dry fruit bowl from Chennapatna held as tea leaf basket by the Dhokra figurine representing the tea pickers whose tireless efforts bring the world’s finest leaves from misty hillsides to teacups across the globe.
This artful piece captures the essence of their collective spirit and unwavering dedication. Its design mimics the graceful movements of tea pickers at work where each element represents an individual contributor, yet together they form a cohesive whole, reflecting the generations of skilled workers who brave changing weather, steep terrain, and demanding conditions to carefully select only the most pristine leaves. Chaa stands as a testament to the dignity of labor, the power of tradition and the unwavering commitment of these women of India who dedicate their lives.
