EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene of Chinese tea farmers diligently treading tea leaves in traditional baskets. Taken by the British School in the 19th century, this image showcases the ancient art of fermenting Camellia sinensis leaves to produce exquisite tea. The farmers, immersed in their task, are seen carefully stepping on the leaves inside large woven baskets. This method helps release natural enzymes that initiate fermentation, an essential process for creating high-quality teas. The photograph beautifully portrays the dedication and expertise required to craft fine teas. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving from Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts transports us back to early 19th-century China. It offers a glimpse into a world where tea farming was not just a livelihood but also an integral part of Chinese culture. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery in what appears to be a regency garden or farm, this image evokes feelings of tranquility and harmony with nature. The farmhouse nearby suggests that these farmers have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft within generations-old traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of China's rich history as the birthplace of tea cultivation. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to the enduring legacy of Chinese tea farming practices.
