Yes, it is critical to acknowledge the centrality of Britain to the world economy in order to understand how Chinese and Indian tea fitted into it. [...] Asian tea relied on forms of employment [...] such as independent family farms in China and indentured ‘coolies’ in India. [...] It would be very difficult to explain how and why Asian tea became driven by the modern dynamics of accumulation then, unless we connect China and India to the broader global division of labor, centered on the most cutting-edge industrial sectors in the north Atlantic. [...] But I also wish to reframe the idea of British capital as “protagonist,” because when we think about capital, agency is a weird thing. [...] Nothing about accumulation is inherently loyal to this or that region, though it has been concentrated in certain sites, such as nineteenth-century Britain or twentieth-century US, and it has been territorialized by nationalist institutions. Thus, although British firms drove the Asian tea trade at first, by the twentieth century Indian and Chinese nationalists alike protested British capital [...].

Most economic histories were focused on whether other countries could ever develop into nineteenth-century England. For labor historians, Mike Davis recently wrote, the “classical proletariat” was the working classes of the North Atlantic from 1838-1921. These modular assumptions jump out when you flip through the classics of Asian economic and labor history, almost always focused on some sort of textile industry (silk, cotton, jute) and in cities such as Shanghai, Osaka, Bombay, Calcutta. By contrast, I was really inspired by a field pioneered by South Asia scholars known as “global labor history” — especially the work of Jairus Banaji — which has been critical of the centrality of urban industry in economic history. Instead, these scholars reconsider labor in light of our current world of late capitalism, including transportation workers, agrarian families, servants, and unfree and coerced labor. These activities have enabled global capitalism to function smoothly for centuries but were overlooked because they did not share the spectacular novelty of the steam-powered factories of urban Europe, US, and Japan.

As far as how tea production worked: in simple terms, Chinese tea was a segmented trade and Indian tea was centralized in plantations known as ‘tea gardens.’ The Chinese trade relied on independent family farms, workshops in market towns, and porters ferrying tea to the coastal ports: Guangzhou (Canton) then later Fuzhou and Shanghai. By contrast, British officials and planters built Indian tea from scratch in Assam, which had not been nearly as commercialized as coastal China or Bengal. They first tried to replicate the ‘natural’ Chinese model of local agriculture and trade, but frustrated British planters ultimately decided to undertake all of the tasks themselves, from clearing the land to packaging the finished leaves. [...] Indian tea was championed as futuristic and mechanized. [...]

In India [...] the tea industry’s penal labor contract became one of the original cause célèbres of the nationalist movement in the 1880s. The plantations later became a site for strikes and hartals, the most famous occurring in the Chargola Valley in 1921. But even though tea workers chanted, “Gandhi Maharaj ki jai” at the time, Gandhi himself had allegedly visited Assam and declined to see the workers, meeting instead with British planters to assure them they were safe. While Indian nationalists had politicized indenture in Assam tea, their main complaint was the racialized split between British capital and Indian labor. Their remedy was not to liquidate the tea gardens but to diversify ownership over them. The cause of labor was subordinated to the nationalist struggle.

@lesbianvampirebatwillowrosenberg :D :D if anyone else is feeling indulgent or wants to reblog, it’s here

1. First piece of furniture: a little red and black set of drawers, about the right size for art supplies. I got it from London Drugs and I was SO PROUD (no idea how I got it home, it weighs a tonne) Anyway I used it as a stepping stool back in my Princess and the Pea phase (real zetsufans remember)

8. Fav cleaning product: Gonna show my whole hippie ass and say dilute vinegar in a spray bottle. Cleans up most messes, including on glass, doesn’t leave nasty residue, and is cheap af. And on the other end of the spectrum, Vim cream bleach. (Obligatory do not mix these two DO NOT MIX THESE TWO). It actually stays on the thing you’re bleaching. As a lifelong and very clumsy hair dyer, it makes my life a Lot easier.

16: getting out of the house in bad weather: ngl mostly I don’t orz That said, I have quite a weakness for the sea in a storm. The beaches on the south of the island get some FANTASTIC wave action. Standing in a little cove in the dark with water roaring in your ears makes everything feel Pretty Okay.

32: morning caffeine: black tea brewed thick enough it could be mistaken for coffee, with lots of milk and two scant teaspoons sugar. I basically want a latte but tea lmao my fav teas are Murchie’s Orange Spice and Pumpkin Spice, The Tea Centre’s Blackberry, and Silk Road’s Assam. I use a milk jug I broke several years ago by dropping my spinning wheel on it and if that isn’t the most me-core thing ever….

Hello! Very intrigued by your tea tags. Do you have recommendations for how to find small tea companies? I only know about the ones specifically in the region where I live.

Hi ☀️ Thank you for the ask, I always love talking about tea!!

It can take me up to a few hours to find a new company that fits my standards, and I found that visiting the Great Taste Awards website is of great help. It's a reliable source with quick links to the companies' websites, and saves me the trouble of going through hundreds of Google search results. Though, when I'm looking for something specific (say, France based companies, or Kenyan black tea), usually a Google search is all that it takes – I open a bunch of websites, scroll right down to the "About Us" and the "Sustainability" sections (I usually look for little to no plastic packages, preferably single estate teas, handmade and/or hand-picked leaves), then go through their catalogue. Generally, the more information they give about the harvesting season and geographical coordinates, the better :)

I'll list a few of my personal favourites, whose tea I tried, or that I have been following for a while. Except for the second one, which chiefly has USA based retailers, they're UK based, and sell worldwide:

Birchall — their Great Rift breakfast blend has been a staple in my tea collection for half a decade; they make good green and flavored tea, too (I got a sample of their Green Tea & Peach and it was great), as well rooibos and other caffeine free teas; the prices are really competitive for the good quality of the products, so this might be a great start to discover loose leaf / more sustainable teas in general; the company recently went carbon neutral, and their teabags and pouches are plastic free, which is a plus!

Ajiri — a small women-led company whose goal is to create employment for [mostly widowed or single] women in Kenya, all profits enable them to provide for themselves and their children with dignity; I have yet to try it – the reviews look very promising, so I'm looking forward to it soon; it's so clear that every product is made with care – each label is a handmade artwork created with dried banana bark, which I think is really cool! They offer plain and flavored black tea, some green tea, rooibos, and coffee.

Karma Tea Co. — this company sources their "single-garden, loose whole leaf" teas from small farms in India and Nepal; with particular attention to new Nepalese gardens that are trying to renovate the tea production of the area; I found out about it through their Great Taste Award winner Silk Cloud, which is a very particular and tea, however I fell in love with their New Day Assam, that I look forward to buying more of soon.

Feel free to message me or send an ask if you'd like further suggestions/try any of these companies/want to talk about tea in general! I'm still learning, but I'm always happy to help 🍃🍵

[sweetest-omens]

an extremely domestic snapshot from my ineffable husbands retirement fic. ft. sleepy crowley:

___

Neither of them had bothered to swap the sign on the front door of the bookshop over to OPEN that morning yet. Outside, it was tipping it down. An uncharacteristically decisive sort of rain for London, hard and cold, and it cleared the pavements of tourists, who were ducking in and out of every storefront but A.Z Fell & Co. to stay dry. 

“Miserable out there,” Crowley commented cheerfully.

Aziraphale was at his desk, a pair of teensy little reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, shuffling through all sorts of old and yellowing papery bits. 

“Mm,” Aziraphale said vaguely. He held one official-looking paper up to one of the twin desk lamps. By all reasonable assessment, the poor, ancient thing should’ve fallen apart in his gloved hands, but it held quite valiantly together. It also seemed to have something important or interesting or... something of that ilk to say, because Aziraphale suddenly beamed at it and cooed. “Oh very good.” 

“I think I might take a little nap,” Crowley announced. “Perfect weather for it, really.” 

“Alright,” Aziraphale said, not looking up. 

“Shall we open a bottle of something later?” Crowley asked. “Are you…” he eyed the large pile of papers strewn across the little hardwood desk. “Around?”

“Oh yes,” Aziraphale said. 

The mug by Aziraphale’s elbow was sitting exactly where Crowley had set it down about thirty minutes ago. Crowley angled a glare at it, and lightly-steeped assam tea began, sheepishly, to steam again. 

“Well,” Crowely said. “Shout if you need anything.” 

“Will do,” Aziraphale said absently. 

The grand spiral staircase creaked gently underfoot as Crowely climbed it. Gauzy light fell through the big, round skylight overhead. 

It really was perfect weather for a nap.

It helped that the bookshop held an eternal and ambient sort of warmth. Particularly against the gruesome showing that purported to be mid-August outside. It was a glow, a sort of… feeling that pervaded under the toasted almond scent of old paper and polished wood. 

The bedroom lay behind a heavy wooden door, which was slotted improbably into a curving bookshelf. There was a single bed in the room piled with plush blankets that predated the turn of the last century. It was surrounded by rather a lot of books. 

Crowely folded his waistcoat and silver scarfie-thing and set them on a hefty looking leather-bound tome. The rest of his clothing melted into silk pajamas: black as the shifting fabric of the universe before time and relative space; black as the absence of all light and hope —  because they knew what was good for them. 

A single bed. Oh, how Crowley missed his flat sometimes. His Egyptian cotton, his Super King memory foam mattress… and yet. 

The little bed smelled like ancient fabric and the cracked spines of the books that surrounded it. And underneath — you really had to search for it; Crowley climbed in and pressed his face into a feather down pillow to inhale deeply — the whiff of ozone that lifted off an angel sometimes. You might only pick it up if you were, say, another occult being attuned to the scent. And perhaps if the wind caught in the angel's hair, or you stood very, very close. 

Crowley pulled the covers around himself. There were so many layers that the effect was not unlike being pinned under a weighted blanket. Rain pattered against the windowpane, drowning the bustling view of Whickber street into something soft and far away.

Was this bliss? 

It was something very near it, at least. Nothing to do and nowhere to be but here. Later, Crowley would probably sprawl on the couch and watch Aziraphale uncork something red and earthy, something with terrific legs. And then they’d while away an entire night talking, arguing, laughing, drinking into the early hours. 

At which point… Crowley would probably take his leave. It was about time, anyway. He’d spent the last three days in and around the bookshop. Buzzing like a gnat. Taking Aziraphale out to little bars and restaurants, plying him with amuse-bouches and theatre tickets. 

Yeah, he’d slink off to the Bentley tomorrow. Make some trouble for himself. 

He heard, down on the shop floor, Aziraphale fending off an unwitting un-customer with a severe: “I’m afraid we’re closed!” 

Crowley curled up in Aziraphale’s little single bed, and fell into a sweet and dreamless sort of sleep.

Unveiling the Top Matrimony and Marriage Bureau in Assam: A Comprehensive Guide

Matrimony in Assam reflects a blend of tradition and modernity, deeply rooted in cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. Assam, nestled in the northeastern part of India, is renowned for its diverse ethnic groups, each with unique customs and rituals that shape the institution of marriage.

Traditional Assamese weddings are elaborate affairs, often spanning several days and involving intricate rituals. One of the most significant rituals is 'Biya', the traditional Assamese wedding ceremony. It begins with the 'Juroon', where the bride and groom exchange betel nuts symbolizing their union. The 'Sualkuchi' silk plays a vital role in the bride's attire, showcasing the state's rich textile heritage.

Assam matrimony also embraces diversity through various tribal communities like Bodos, Karbis, and Rabhas, each with distinct marriage customs. For instance, among the Bodos, weddings are marked by vibrant cultural performances like the Bagurumba dance, celebrating love and unity.

The evolution of matrimonial practices in Assam has seen a shift towards modernization, with online platforms like Dialurban playing a crucial role. These platforms cater to the contemporary Assamese youth, offering a blend of traditional values with modern convenience. Dialurban, for instance, facilitates matchmaking by connecting individuals based on compatibility factors while respecting cultural sensitivities.

In contemporary Assamese society, matrimonial decisions are increasingly influenced by factors such as education, career aspirations, and personal compatibility. However, traditional values remain integral, with families often playing a pivotal role in matchmaking and ceremony arrangements.

Assam's matrimony is also marked by unique pre-wedding customs such as 'Juron diya', where the groom's family visits the bride's house with gifts, symbolizing acceptance and goodwill. This ritual underscores the community-oriented nature of Assamese weddings, emphasizing harmony and mutual respect.

Moreover, cuisine plays a significant role in Assamese weddings, with delicacies like 'Pitha' and 'Masor Tenga' being served during ceremonies, enhancing the festive spirit. These culinary traditions reflect the region's agrarian roots and close-knit community bonds. The matrimony scene in Assam continues to evolve, blending tradition with modernity to meet the changing needs and expectations of its people. Whether through elaborate ceremonies steeped in age-old customs or digital platforms like Dialurban bridging distances, Assamese weddings remain a vibrant celebration of love, culture, and unity.
