Nannuo tea picking song

I thought I'd post this - apologies for the poor sound quality and short length, but you get the idea.

A Traditional Ai-Ni (the minority living in Nannuo) tea picking song...

It's nice to see a tea worker who isn't oppressed by terrible conditions. She seems really happy.

Thanks for posting this song. My husband and I recently wrote two songs about tea and its health benefits for a scholarship competition we are entered into and we learned so much. If you are interested, here are our two songs and music videos about tea.

We'd love to hear what you think.

Interesting, at least they sing while they work! Jason, you're so right, that's what I like to see! My tea is picked with happiness, which in turn would exude happiness :)
